Question

3) Solve 8x = 20 + 3x​

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

8x = 20 + 3x

Solving

8x = 20 + 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.

8x + -3x = 20 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 8x + -3x = 5x

5x = 20 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

5x = 20 + 0

5x = 20

Divide each side by '5'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

8x = 20 + 3x

8x - 3x = 20

5x = 20

x =

$\frac{20}{5}$

x = 4
