Answer: X = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
5x-4x+2 = 6x-8
10 = 5x
2 = x
Steps:
1. First multiply the -2 on the left side to open the bracket, then multiply the 2 on the right side to open up the bracket
2. Bring all the x's to the right side(as 6x>5x-4x) and the number to the right side(to convert the -8 to +8 and add it with the +2)
3. then add up the sums on each side.
Left side: [+2 +8 = +10]
Right side: [6x +4x -5x = 5x]
4. then divide the whole equation by 5
Left side: [+10/5 = 2]
Right side: [5x/5 = 1x (or) x]
5. To be left with 2 = x (or) x = 2
