Hi!
We need to isolate x on both sides, and whatever we do to the equation we have to do to both sides.
First, add 8 to both sides.
2x - 8 + 8 = -6 + 8
2x = 2
Divide by 2 on both sides
2x/2 = 2/2
x = 1
The answer is x = 1
Hope this helps! :)

Hi,
We start out with our equation, 2x – 8 = – 6
then add 8 to each side, 2x-8+8=-6+8
simplify, 2x=2
divide both sides by 2, 2x/2 = 2/2
simplify again, x=1
Have a great day!
