Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Use the distributive property to multiply $-3$ by $x-2$.

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

Combine $x$ and $-3x$ to get $-2x$.

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

Subtract $6x$ from both sides.

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

Combine $-2x$ and $-6x$ to get $-8x$.

$$-8x+6=-2$$

Subtract $6$ from both sides.

$$-8x=-2-6$$

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

$$-8x=-8$$

Divide both sides by $-8$.

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

Divide $-8$ by $-8$ to get $1$.

$$x=1$$
