The equation that we are asked to model goes something like this - [tex]9x-6=8+2x[/tex]. Now, all we need to do is solve for the variable, [tex]x[/tex]. [tex]9x-6=8+2x[/tex] [tex]\Rightarrow 7x-6=8[/tex] [tex]\Rightarrow 7x=14[/tex] [tex]\Rightarrow \boxed{x=2}[/tex] Hope this helped and have a great day!
