The solution

You have entered [src]
2*x + 8 = 6*x - 2
$$2 x + 8 = 6 x - 2$$
Detail solution
Given the linear equation:
2*x+8 = 6*x-2

Move free summands (without x)
from left part to right part, we given:
$$2 x = 6 x - 10$$
Move the summands with the unknown x
from the right part to the left part:
$$\left(-4\right) x = -10$$
Divide both parts of the equation by -4
x = -10 / (-4)

We get the answer: x = 5/2
