To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by simplifying and rearranging the equation:
8x - 6 = 10x - 8
Add 8 to both sides:
8x - 6 + 8 = 10x - 8 + 8
Simplify:
8x + 2 = 10x
Subtract 8x from both sides:
8x - 8x + 2 = 10x - 8x
Simplify:
2 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2:
2/2 = 2x/2
Simplify:
1 = x
So the solution is x = 1.
8x− 6 = 10x−8
