I believe this would be the answer although I'm not sure enough , since I got the 0 from empty bucket.
3x+8

Step 1: Subtract 8 from both sides.

3x+8−8=0−8

3x=−8

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x3=−83

x=−83

Answer:

x=−83

x means the amount of marbles Henry placed in the empty bucket. The 8 might be that Henry added 8 more marbles to the bucket.
