ANSWER: -14
STEP BY STEP:
Rewrite equation ⇩
-x + 8 + 3x = x - 6
Combine like terms (-x and 3x) ⇩
2x + 8 = x - 6
Get both x's on one side by subtracting 2x on both sides ⇩
2x + 8 = x - 6
-2x + 8 = -2x - 6
8 = -x - 6
Add 6 on both sides to get alone on one side
8 = -x - 6
+6 = -x +6
14 = -x
Make x positive by multiplying it by -1 (since - times - = +)
-1(14) = -1(-x)
-14 = x
Enjoy your final answer
-14 = x
