5x - 2 = x + 6 is an equation - a linear equation - in one variable, x.
That answers the question which was asked.
But, perhaps you wanted a solution to the equation but were too embarrassed to ask?
5x - 2 = x + 6
Subtract x from both sides: 4x - 2 = 6
Add 2 to both sides: 4x = 8
Divide both sides by 4: x = 2

What is 6x2-2x plus 36 equals 5x2 plus 10x?
6x2-2x+36 = 5x2+10x 6x2-5x2-2x-10x+36 = 0 x2-12x+36 = 0 (x-6)(x-6) = 0 x = 6 or x = 6 It has two equal roots.
If 5x squared plus 2x equals 192 what is the value of x?
Factorise: 5x2 + 2x - 192 = (x - 6)(5x + 32) = 0; whence, x = 6 or -6.4.

Evaluate -5x2 - 3x for x equals -2?
for x = -2: x2 = 4, -5x2 = -20; 3x = -6 giving -20 - (-6) = - 20 + 6 = -14.
Solution 5x2 plus 29x - 6?
I am assuming the question is to factor this problem? 5x2 + 29x - 6 (5x - 1)(x + 6)
