    Why are you asking for help on such easy problems?

    8+5x-6=37

    Combine like terms: 5x+2=37

    Get rid of the two: 5x+2-2=37-2

    Simplify: 5x=35

    Get rid of the five: 5x/5=35/5

    Simplify: x=7

    Source(s): Me. This is simple prealgebra - learn to do it instead of continually asking everyone else to solve it for you.

    8+5x-6=37

    combine like terms

    8-6=2

    2+5x=37

    subtract 2 from both sides

    5x=35

    x=7

    8+5x-6=37

    => 5x +2 = 37 ( using 8-6 = 2)

    => 5x = 37-2 ( changing the side when you will change side you should change the sign before number or variable, if it is plus it will be minus when it is minus it will be plus )

    => 5x = 35

    => x= 7 ( both side dividing by 5)

    x=7 ( answer)
