Subtract 6x+2 from 3x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

6x + - 2 = 3x + - 6

Reorder the terms:

-2 + 6x = 3x + - 6

Reorder the terms:

-2 + 6x = - 6 + 3x

Solving

-2 + 6x = - 6 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

-2 + 6x + - 3x = - 6 + 3x + - 3x

Combine like terms: 6x + - 3x = 3x

-2 + 3x = - 6 + 3x + - 3x

Combine like terms: 3x + - 3x = 0

-2 + 3x = - 6 + 0

-2 + 3x = - 6

Add '2' to each side of the equation.

-2 + 2 + 3x = - 6 + 2

Combine like terms: - 2 + 2 = 0

0 + 3x = - 6 + 2

3x = - 6 + 2

Combine like terms: - 6 + 2 = - 4

3x = - 4

Divide each side by '3'.

x = - 1.333333333

Simplifying

x = - 1.333333333
