5x - 3 = 13 - 3x \\ 5x - 3 + 3x = 13 - 3x + 3x \\ 8x - 3 = 13 \\ 8x - 3 + 3 = 13 + 3 \\ 8x = 16 \\ 8x / 8 = 16 / 8 \\ x = 2

Answer:

x=2

Explanation:

5x-3=13-3x is an equation and thus we try to solve it for x. Next time, please include the word "solve."

First, add 3x to both sides, to isolate x on the left side: 8x - 3 = 13.

Next, subtract 3 from both sides: 8x = 16

Finally, divide both sides by 8 to obtain the value of x: x = 16/8 = 2.
