Answer:

7

Explanation:

First, collect common factors. This means put the x's together and the regular numbers together.

8x+3x=11x

5+8=13

11x+13=90

Subtract 13 from both sides

11x+13=90

-13 -13

11x=77

Divide 77 by 11

x=7

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

x = 7

Explanation:

8x + 5 + 3x + 8 = 90

11x + 5 + 8 = 90

11x + 13 = 90

11x = 77

x = 7

Let's Check

8(7) + 5 + 3(7) + 8 = 90

56 + 5 + 21 + 8 = 90

61 + 21 + 8 = 90

82 + 8 = 90

90 = 90

So, x = 7 is the correct answer!
