Solve 3x - 6 = 2x + 2

3 x - 6 = 2 x + 2

Step by step

  1. 3 x - 6 = 2 x + 2

    Start from the equation as given.

  2. x - 8 = 0

    Bring everything to one side and collect like terms so the right-hand side is 0.

  3. x = 8

    Move the constant term to the other side: subtract -8 from both sides.

  4. x = 8

    Simplify the fraction.
