You would use the Subtraction Property of Equality.
then what?
Since the equation you provided has the same variable terms on both sides (2x), and the coefficients (2) are also the same, the equation is already in a simplified form. In this case, there is no solution for the equation because both sides are equal, and subtracting 2x from both sides would result in 9 = 8, which is not true. So the equation has no solution.
