Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 = x + 8

Subtract x from each side

3x-x - 2 = x-x + 8

2x -2 = 8

Add 2 to each side

2x-2+2 = 8+2

2x = 10

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =10/2

x = 5

Answer: x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 = x + 8- from this, move -2 across the '=', which makes it now a positive 2. It will now look like 3x = x + 10. Now you should move the x across, which will make it negative, so it will now look like 2x = 10. Now all you have to do is divide 10 by 2, and you will get x, which equals 5
