Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To solve the equation $$ 8x + 8 = 3x + 6 $$, follow these steps:

1. **Subtract $$ 3x $$ from both sides:**
   $$
   8x + 8 - 3x = 3x + 6 - 3x
   $$
   $$
   5x + 8 = 6
   $$

2. **Subtract 8 from both sides:**
   $$
   5x + 8 - 8 = 6 - 8
   $$
   $$
   5x = -2
   $$

3. **Divide both sides by 5:**
   $$
   x = \frac{-2}{5}
   $$
   $$
   x = -\frac{2}{5}
   $$
   
**Answer:**
$$
x = -\frac{2}{5}
$$
$$ x = -\frac{2}{5} $$
