The equation that we are asked to model goes something like this - [tex]9x-6=8+2x[/tex]. Now, all we need to do is solve for the variable, [tex]x[/tex].
[tex]9x-6=8+2x[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 7x-6=8[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow 7x=14[/tex]
[tex]\Rightarrow \boxed{x=2}[/tex]
Hope this helped and have a great day!
