6x-8=22 - (*-5); add 8 to both sides
6x=30 - (x-5); distribute negative sign
6x=30-x+5; combine like terms
6x=35-x; add x on both sides
7x=35; divide both sides by 7
x=5 is the answer
substitute 5 for x and check
6 (5) - 8=22 - (5-5)
30-8=22 - (-0)
22=22
so the answer would be x=5

So you first do the parenthasees
remember that - (x-5) is equal to - 1 (x-5) or - x+5
we try to get all the unknowns or the x terms on one side and the known terms, like numbers 1,2,3 on the other
so 6x-8=22-x+5
add like terms (x+x and numbers + numbers)
6x-8=27-x
add x to both sides
7x-8=27
add 8 to both sides
7x=35
divide both sides by 7
x=5
