-x + 8 + 3x=x-6

2x+8=x-6

-x - x

x+8=-6

+8 + 8

x=2

Kamora Stanley · Answer 2

Simplify - x + 8 + 3x to 2x + 8

2x + 8 = x - 6

Subtract x from both sides

2x + 8 - x = - 6

Simplify 2x + 8 - x to x + 8

x + 8 = - 6

Subtract 8 from both sides

x = - 6 - 8

Simplify - 6 - 8 to - 14

x = - 14

Answer: B. x = - 14
