Start with the equation: Start with the equation 10x=8x+6. We want to isolate x on one side of the equation, so we will subtract 8x from both sides to move the variable terms to one side. 10x−8x=8x+6−8x
Simplify the equation: Simplify the equation by combining like terms.10x−8x=8x−8x+62x=6
Divide to solve for x: Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x.22x=26x=3
