3x-8=10

1 answer

To solve the equation \(3x - 8 = 10\), follow these steps:

  1. Add 8 to both sides of the equation:

    \[ 3x - 8 + 8 = 10 + 8 \]

    This simplifies to:

    \[ 3x = 18 \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by 3:

    \[ \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{18}{3} \]

    This gives:

    \[ x = 6 \]

So, the solution is \(x = 6\).
