To solve this equation, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting x from both sides of the equation:
3x + 2 - x = x + 8 - x
Simplifying both sides:
2x + 2 = 8
Next, we can subtract 2 from both sides:
2x + 2 - 2 = 8 - 2
2x = 6
Finally, we can divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
2x/2 = 6/2
x = 3
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 3
