Answer: [tex]0[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify both sides of the equation: [tex]-6(x+1)+8x=2(x-3)[/tex]
[tex](-6)(x)+(-6)(1)+8x=(2)(x)+(2)(-3)[/tex] [tex](Distribute)[/tex]
[tex](-6x+8x)+(-6)=2x-6[/tex] (Combine Like Terms)
[tex]2x+(-6)=2x-6[/tex]
[tex]2x(-6)=2x(-6)[/tex]
Subtract 2x from both sides: [tex]2x-6-2x=2x-6-2x[/tex]
[tex]-6=-6[/tex]
Add 6 to both sides: [tex]-6+6=-6+6[/tex]
