Solve the equation $3x + 2 = x -8$ and represent on the number line.

Given:

$3x + 2 = x -8$

To do:

We have to solve the equation $3x + 2 = x -8$ and represent on the number line.

Solution:

$3x+2=x-8$

$3x-x=-8-2$

$2x=-10$

$x=\frac{-10}{2}$

$x=-5$

$x=-5$ is represented by the point A on the number line.
