Before we find the value of 3 x , let's first find the value of x
To do so, first combine 3 x + 5 x :
8 x - 2 = 2
Addition of 2 to both sides of the equation:
8 x - 2    +    2 = 2    +    2
8 x = 4
Divide all sides by 8 now
8 x 8 = 4 8
x = 1 2
Since we want 3 x , let's multiply that by 3 :
1 2 3 = 3 2
