Solve for x: - 8x+26=-6x+14

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

-8x + 26 = - 6x + 1 4

Collect like terms, we have:

26 - 14 = - 6x + 8x

Note that the symbols changed after switching sides.

From the above, we have:

12 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2, to solve for x.

x = 12/2

x = 6.

Answer: x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 6x to both sides.

-8x+26+6x=-6x+14+6x

-2x+26=14

Step 2: Subtract 26 from both sides.

-2x+26-26=14-26

-2x=-12

Step 3: Divide both sides by - 2.

-2x/-2 = - 12/-2

x = 6
