6x - 8 = 0
( you have to always, always get x on one side, by itself, so what can you do to this equation to get x by itself on one side? add 8 note what you do to one side, you must do to the other so you add 8 to both sides, -8 +8 = 0 that cancels out)
6x = 8
now x is still not by itself, its being multiplied by 6, so to undo that you have to divide by 6. remember what you do to one side you have to do to the other
6/6 x = 8/6
6/6 is just 1 so
x = 8/6 or sinplified by 2, 4/3
