Question
Solve the equation
x=−6
Evaluate
(8x+3)−(10x+6)=9
Simplify
More Steps
Evaluate
(8x+3)−(10x+6)
Remove the parentheses
8x+3−(10x+6)
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
8x+3−10x−6
Subtract the terms
More Steps
Evaluate
8x−10x
Collect like terms by calculating the sum or difference of their coefficients
(8−10)x
Subtract the numbers
−2x
−2x+3−6
Subtract the numbers
−2x−3
−2x−3=9
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−2x=9+3
Add the numbers
−2x=12
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
2x=−12
Divide both sides
22x=2−12
Divide the numbers
x=2−12
