    Lisa is not right.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The equation Lisa is solving is x+6=8+x

    The solution for the given value will be the value of x.

    To solve for x we isolate the x term that is bring both x on one side of the equal sign.

    Subtracting x both sides we have:

    x-x+6=8+x-x

    The x on both sides gets cancel and hence there is no value of x that will satisfy the equation x+6=8+x.

    So Lisa solution is not right.
