Question

$$8 x - 2 = 3 x + 8$$

Solve for x

$x=2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract $3x$ from both sides.

$$8x-2-3x=8$$

Combine $8x$ and $-3x$ to get $5x$.

$$5x-2=8$$

Add $2$ to both sides.

$$5x=8+2$$

Add $8$ and $2$ to get $10$.

$$5x=10$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{10}{5}$$

Divide $10$ by $5$ to get $2$.

$$x=2$$
