Question

3x + 8 = 5x + 2
solve the problem ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here's your answer:

According to the question,

3x+8=5x+2

Subtracting 5x from both sides,

3x+8-5x=5x+2-5x

3x-5x+8=2                                                   [Rearrangement]

-2x+8=2

Subtracting 8 from both sides,

-2x+8-8=2-8

-2x=(-6)

x= (-6)/(-2)=3

x=3

Hope this helps you :)
