6+10x=8x+12. What’s the answer?

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

PEMDAS is the order of operation, and =

First, subtract 6 and 8x from both sides:

6 (-6) + 10x (-8x) = 8x (-8x) + 12 (-6)

10x - 8x = 12 - 6

2x = 6

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 2 from both sides:

(2x)/2 = (6)/2

x = 6/2

x = 3

3 is your answer.
