Solve for $$ x $$ : $$ 6 x+4=8 x+8 $$

Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To solve for $$ x $$ in the equation:

$$
6x + 4 = 8x + 8
$$

follow these steps:

1. **Subtract $$ 6x $$ from both sides** to bring all the $$ x $$-terms to one side:

$$
6x + 4 - 6x = 8x + 8 - 6x
$$

$$
4 = 2x + 8
$$

2. **Subtract 8 from both sides** to isolate the term with $$ x $$:

$$
4 - 8 = 2x + 8 - 8
$$

$$
-4 = 2x
$$

3. **Divide both sides by 2** to solve for $$ x $$:

$$
\frac{-4}{2} = \frac{2x}{2}
$$

$$
-2 = x
$$

**Solution:** $$ x = -2 $$
$$ x = -2 $$
