Solve the equation. -x + 8 + 3x = x - 6
x = - 18, x = - 14, x = 2, x = 4

Solution:

Given: - x + 8 + 3x = x - 6 is linear equation

Solving an equation can be done in many ways. Let us use the transposing method here and isolate the variable x. While transposing we keep the equation balanced and hence we change the signs when the terms are switched sides.

- x + 8 + 3x = x - 6

= -x + 3x -x = -6 -8

On combining like terms we get,

 x = -14

Solve the equation. -x + 8 + 3x = x - 6

Summary:

The solution to the equation -x + 8 + 3x = x - 6 is x = -14.
