Question

8x−6=
10x−8

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( 8x - 6 = 10x - 8 \), follow these steps:

1. First, get all terms involving \( x \) on one side and constant terms on the other side. Subtract \( 8x \) from both sides:

\[
-6 = 10x - 8 - 8x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
-6 = 2x - 8
\]

2. Next, add \( 8 \) to both sides to isolate the term with \( x \):

\[
-6 + 8 = 2x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
2 = 2x
\]

3. Now, divide both sides by \( 2 \):

\[
x = 1
\]

So, the solution to the equation \( 8x - 6 = 10x - 8 \) is \( x = 1 \).
