Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
8x−3−5x−5=7x
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
8x−3−5x−5=7x
8x+−3+−5x+−5=7x
(8x+−5x)+(−3+−5)=7x(Combine Like Terms)
3x+−8=7x
3x−8=7x
Step 2: Subtract 7x from both sides.
3x−8−7x=7x−7x
−4x−8=0
Step 3: Add 8 to both sides.
−4x−8+8=0+8
−4x=8
Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.
−4x/−4=8/−4
x=−2
