Answer:
x
=
0
Here's how I did it:
Explanation:
−
5
+
2
x
=
5
x
−
(
8
x
+
5
)
First, we distribute the negative sign to everything in the parenthesis:
−
5
+
2
x
=
5
x
−
8
x
−
5
Do
5
x
−
8
x
:
−
5
+
2
x
=
−
3
x
−
5
Add
3
x
to both sides of the equation:
−
5
+
2
x
+
3
x
=
−
3
x
+
3
x
−
5
−
5
+
5
x
=
−
5
Add
5
to both sides of the equation:
−
5
+
5
+
5
x
=
−
5
+
5
5
x
=
0
Divide both sides by
5
:
5
x
5
=
0
5
x
=
0
Hope this helps!
