Solve: (6x + 4)/(2x - 2) + 6 = 8

(6x + 4)/(2x - 2) + 6 = 8 (subtract 6 from both sides) (6x + 4)/(2x - 2) = 2 (multiply both sides by (2x - 2)) 6x + 4 = 2(2x - 2) 6x + 4 = 4x - 4 (add 4 to both sides) 6x + 8 = 4x (subtract 4x from both sides and subtract 8 so you get the x on one side of the = sign and the number on the other side) 2x = -8 (divide both sides by 2) x = -4
