Follow each step carefully to understand the complete solution

$3x - x = 8$

$x = \text{?}$

Start by simplifying the left-hand side of the equation:

$3x - x = 2x$

So the equation becomes:

$2x = 8$

To find the value of $x$ , divide both sides by 2:

$x = \frac{8}{2}$

Then simplify the fraction:

$x = 4$

Thus, the solution to the equation is $x = 4$ .
