Solve the following equation
8-x=6
Solve for x
8 - x = 6
Divide each side by 8
| 8x | |
| 8 |
| = |
| 6 |
| 8 |
Group constants
Group our constants 8 and 6.
subtract 8 from both sides
-x + 8 - 8 = 6 - 8
Cancel 8 on the left side:
-x = -2
Divide each side of the equation by -1
| -1x | |
| -1 |
| = |
| -2 |
| -1 |
x = 2
Final Answer
x = 2
