Solve for x -x+8+3x=x-6

$- x + 8 + 3 x = x - 6$

Step 1

Add $- x$ and $3 x$ .

$2 x + 8 = x - 6$

Step 2

Move all terms containing $x$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$2 x + 8 - x = - 6$

Subtract $x$ from $2 x$ .

$x + 8 = - 6$

Step 3

Move all terms not containing $x$ to the right side of the equation.

Subtract $8$ from both sides of the equation.

$x = - 6 - 8$

Subtract $8$ from $- 6$ .

$x = - 14$
