Question

$$=-6=3x+2$$

Solve for x

$x = -\frac{8}{3} = -2\frac{2}{3} \approx -2.666666667$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$3x+2=-6$$

Subtract $2$ from both sides.

$$3x=-6-2$$

Subtract $2$ from $-6$ to get $-8$.

$$3x=-8$$

Divide both sides by $3$.

$$x=\frac{-8}{3}$$

Fraction $\frac{-8}{3}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{8}{3}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{8}{3}$$
