Hi!

We need to isolate x on both sides, and whatever we do to the equation we have to do to both sides.

First, add 8 to both sides.

2x - 8 + 8 = -6 + 8

2x = 2

Divide by 2 on both sides

2x/2 = 2/2

x = 1

The answer is x = 1

Hope this helps! :)

Hi,

We start out with our equation, 2x – 8 = – 6

then add 8 to each side, 2x-8+8=-6+8

simplify, 2x=2

divide both sides by 2, 2x/2 = 2/2

simplify again, x=1

Have a great day!
