6x = 5x - 8
Subtract 5x on both sides
x = -8.
To check substitute x for -8.
6(-8) = 5(-8)-8
-48 = -48
So yes you are correct.

Set your answer out like this:
6x = 5x - 8
6x - 5x = -8
x = -8
Right answer, just show HOW you got there.
Hope this helps. M.

Yeah it is. X=-8 because you subtract 5x from both sides, and get 1x=-8, or just x=-8

Yep~! :)
6x=5x-8 (Subtract 5x from both sides)
1x=-8
And since the 1x is just x, you've found your answer. -8 is correct!
