Question

solve the following equation. 5x=8+3x​

Answer 1

1) Rearrange Terms

= 5x = 8+3x

= 5x = 3x+8

2) Subtract 3x from both sides of the equation

= 5x = 3x+8

= 5−3 = 3 + 8 − 3

3) Simplify

= Combine like terms

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

= Combine like terms

= 2x = 3x + 8 - 3x

= 2x = 8

4) Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

= 2x = 8

= 2x/2 = 8/2

5) Simplify

= Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator

= 2x/2 = 8/2

= x= 8/2

= Divide The Numbers

= x = 4

(Ans = x = 4 )
