What is the answer for 5x-2x+8=2+6x+6?

5x - 2x + 8 = 2 + 6x + 6
Add like terms:
5x - 2x = 3x
2 + 6 = 8
3x + 8 = 6x + 8
To isolate the variable, subtract 6x from both sides of the equation:
3x - 6x = -3x
-3x + 8 = 8
Now subtract 8 from both sides:
8 - 8 = 0
-3x = 0
To finish, divide both sides by -3:
0 ÷ -3x = 0
The answer is x = 0
Hope this helps.

[tex]\boxed{x=0}[/tex]
[tex]\boxed{3x+8= 6x+8} \rightarrow \boxed{6x-3x=3x}\rightarrow \boxed{3x+8=8} \rightarrow \boxed{8-8=0} \rightarrow \boxed{3x=0} \rightarrow \boxed{x=0}[/tex]
Detailed ExplanationFirst, let's add the like terms
[tex] 5x-2x = 3x [/tex]
[tex] 6+2=8 [/tex]
Now, we could solve.
[tex] 3x+8= 6x+8 [/tex]
[tex]6x-3x=3x[/tex]
[tex]3x+8=8[/tex]
[tex]8-8=0[/tex]
[tex]3x=0[/tex]
[tex]0 \div 3=0[/tex]
Therefore, the answer would be x=0
[tex]\boxed{x=0}[/tex]
