Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5X + -8 = -3X + -8
Reorder the terms:
-8 + 5X = -3X + -8
Reorder the terms:
-8 + 5X = -8 + -3X
Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + 8 + 5X = -8 + 8 + -3X
Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + 5X = -8 + 8 + -3X
5X = -8 + 8 + -3X
Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
5X = 0 + -3X
5X = -3X
Solving
5X = -3X
Solving for variable 'X'.
Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3X' to each side of the equation.
5X + 3X = -3X + 3X
Combine like terms: 5X + 3X = 8X
8X = -3X + 3X
Combine like terms: -3X + 3X = 0
8X = 0
Divide each side by '8'.
X = 0
Simplifying
X = 0
