Answer:
[tex]x = 4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. expand.
[tex]8x + 6 = 10x - 2[/tex]
2. Subtract 8x from both sides.
[tex]6 = 10x - 2 - 8x[/tex]
3. simplify 10x - 2 - 8x to 2x - 2.
[tex]6 = 2x - 2[/tex]
4. Add 2 to both sides.
[tex]6 + 2 = 2x[/tex]
5. Simplify 6+2 to 8.
[tex]8 = 2x[/tex]
6. Divide both sides by 2.
[tex] \frac{8}{2} = x[/tex]
7. Simplify 8/2 to 4.
[tex]4 = x[/tex]
8. switch sides.
[tex]x = 4[/tex]
Therefor, rhe answer is x=4
