Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
On the left, we have 3 positive x bars and 8 1s.
Hence, the left can be represented by the following expression:
[tex]3x+8[/tex]
On the right, we have 4 positive x bars and 6 1s.
Hence, the right can be represented by the following expression:
[tex]4x+6[/tex]
The two are equivalent. Therefore:
[tex]3x+8=4x+6[/tex]
Solve for x. Subtract 6 from both sides:
[tex]3x+2=4x[/tex]
Subtract 3x from both sides:
[tex]2=x[/tex]
Flip:
[tex]x=2[/tex]
Hence, our answer is C.
