Answer:
38
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
6 + -5x + -3x = 38
Combine like terms: -5x + -3x = -8x
6 + -8x = 38
Solving
6 + -8x = 38
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-6' to each side of the equation.
6 + -6 + -8x = 38 + -6
Combine like terms: 6 + -6 = 0
0 + -8x = 38 + -6
-8x = 38 + -6
Combine like terms: 38 + -6 = 32
-8x = 32
Divide each side by '-8'.
x = -4
Simplifying
x = -4
