Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \tt{3x + 8 = 2x - 8}[/tex]
We want to get all the constants on the right hand side of the equation. So , Add 8 on both sides of the equation.
⤏ [tex] \tt{3x + 8 + 8= 2x - 8 + 8}[/tex]
⤏ [tex] \tt{3x + 16 = 2x}[/tex]
Move 2x to left hand side and change it's sign. Similarly , Move 16 to right hand side and change it's sign :
⤏ [tex] \tt{3x - 2x = - 16}[/tex]
Since , 3x and 2x are like terms , they can be added or subtracted. Subtract 2x from 3x :
⤏ [tex] \sf{x = - 16}[/tex]
[tex] \red{ \boxed{ \boxed{ \tt{Our \: final \: answer : \boxed{ \underline{ \tt{x = - 16}}}}}}}[/tex]
