Answer:
To solve linear equations, we can remember the following rules:
We can add any finite term to both sides of the equation.
We can multiply any finite, non-zero term to both sides of the equation.
Thus, we have the following steps
3x+5=8x
Adding −3x on both sides,
3x+5+(−3x)=8x+(−3x)
=>3x+5−3x=8x−3x
=>5=5x
It is considered best to keep the unknowns, here x, on the right hand side of the equation.
5=5x
=>5x=5
Multiplying by 15, on both sides
5x×15=5×15
5x5=55
x=1
Thus we have our solution. To check if it is correct, we need to substitute it back in the given expression.
3x+5=8x
=>3(1)+5=8(1)
=>3+5=8
=>8=8
We know that 8=8, so the solution we obtained must be correct.
