Answer

$12$

Work Step by Step

Convert all the x values to fractions with a common denominator so they can be combined. Then move the values so all the x's are on the same side of the equation. $(3x/6)+(8x/6)-(6x/6)=10$ Multiply both sides by the reciprocal (6/5) and reduce to an integer. $5x/6=10$ $x=12$
