Example 6: Solving Linear Equations

Step-by-step worked example for this lesson track.

Problem

Solve 3x+8=8\text{Solve }3x+8=8

1. Recognize Pattern

ax+b=c⇒x=c−baax+b=c\Rightarrow x=\frac{c-b}{a}

2. Apply Method

−8x+18=58⇒x=−5-8x+18=58\Rightarrow x=-5

3. Conclude

x=0x=0

Final answer

x=0x=0
