8 (x+3) - 6=-3 (x+6) solve for x

8x + 24 - 6 = - 3x - 18

8x + 18 = - 3x - 18

8x + 3x = 0

11x = 0

First simplify on both sides of the equal sign:

8 (x + 3) - 6 = - 3 (x + 6)

8x + 24 - 6 = - 3x - 18

Simplify further by combining like terms:

8x + 24 - 6 = - 3x - 18

8x + 18 = - 3x - 18

Next, get all the variables on one side of the equal sign and the constant on the other side. Do this by doing inverse operation:

8x + 18 = - 3x - 18

+3x + 3x

11x + 18 = 18

-18 - 18

11x = 0

Once you have the variables and numbers on different sides, perform the opposite operation.

So 11/11 cancels out

0/11 = 0

Therefore, x equals 0.
