can anyone please help me with this with an explanation?

Answer:
The correct answer is 6.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, write the given.
[tex]5x+4x-68=34-8x[/tex]
Then, transpose -8x and-64. The equation should be grouped with similar terms.
[tex]5x+4x+8x=34+68[/tex]
Next, execute the equation.
[tex]17x=102[/tex]
Thought it's the answer? No, we're not finished. To arrive in the final solution, divide 17 in both sides.
[tex]\frac{17x}{17} =\frac{102}{17}[/tex]
The final answer is...
[tex]x=6[/tex]
