Solve for X ... (-3 + 5) - (6x - 8)

set it equal to 0

(-3+5) - (6x-8) = 0

2-6x+8=0

isolate x

-6x=-2-8

-6x=-10

cancel negatives

6x=10

divide by 6

x = 10/6

reduce:

x = 5/3

10 - 6x

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot solve since there is no equal sign, we can only simplify

(-3 + 5) - (6x - 8)

Combine the like terms in parentheses

(2) - (6x - 8)

Distribute the minus sign

2 - 6x - -8

2 - 6x + 8

Combine like terms

2+8 - 6x

10 - 6x
