To solve this equation, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting x from both sides of the equation:

3x + 2 - x = x + 8 - x

Simplifying both sides:

2x + 2 = 8

Next, we can subtract 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 - 2 = 8 - 2

2x = 6

Finally, we can divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:

2x/2 = 6/2

x = 3

Therefore, the correct answer is C. 3
