Simplify Both Sides: Step Title: Simplify Both SidesConcise Step Description: Combine like terms on both sides of the equation.Step Calculation: On the right side, 3−8 simplifies to −5. So, the equation becomes 6x+9=−5+8x.Step Output: 6x+9=−5+8x
Move Variables to One Side: Step Title: Move Variables to One SideConcise Step Description: Subtract 6x from both sides to isolate x on one side.Step Calculation: −5+8x−6x=6x+9−6x, which simplifies to −5+2x=9.Step Output: −5+2x=9
Isolate the Variable: Step Title: Isolate the VariableConcise Step Description: Add 5 to both sides to solve for x.Step Calculation: −5+5+2x=9+5, which simplifies to 2x=14.Step Output: 2x=14
Solve for x: Step Title: Solve for xConcise Step Description: Divide both sides by 2 to find the value of x.Step Calculation: 22x=214, which simplifies to x=7.Step Output: x=7
