if 3x-8= -2, find the value of x-6

Sagot :

First you have to solve the equation 3x-8=-2. 

Add 8 to both sides, giving you 3x=6. Now divide by 3

x=2. Now, you can find the value of x-6. Plug in 2 for x and solve.

2-6=-4
3x - 8 = -2    |add 8 to both sides

3x = 6      |divide both sides by 3

x = 2

x - 6 = 2 - 6 = -4
