To solve the equation
\(-3x - 6 = 5x - 70\),
follow these steps:
Add \(3x\) to both sides to eliminate \(x\) from the left side:
\(-3x + 3x - 6 = 5x + 3x - 70\)
This simplifies to:
\(-6 = 8x - 70\)
Add \(70\) to both sides to isolate the term with \(x\):
\(-6 + 70 = 8x - 70 + 70\)
This simplifies to:
\(64 = 8x\)
Divide both sides by \(8\) to solve for \(x\):
\(x = \frac{64}{8}\)
This simplifies to:
\(x = 8\)
So, the solution to the equation is \(x = 8\).
