For this problem, we're going to solve the equation, provide our reasons, and then check the answer.
00:05
So this can be done in a couple different ways, but what i like to do is take it so the x's move to the left -hand side.
00:11
So what i'm going to do is subtract this from both sides.
00:14
Since i'm subtracting something from both sides, i am using the subtraction property of equality.
00:18
I'm going to abbreviate property of equality as poe.
00:22
Negative 3x minus 8x is negative 11x.
00:25
Then i have minus 6 is equal to 14.
00:27
My next step is going to be move the 6 over to the right -hand side so that i have variables on one side and numbers on the other.
00:35
Since i'm adding, this is the addition property of equality.
00:41
After i add, i get negative 11x is equal to 20.
00:46
Now from here i can go ahead and divide, or by because of the negative 11 times x, the opposite would be to divide by an 11.
00:55
And now this doesn't simplify any, so our answer here is just going to be our negative 20.

Over 11...
