Question

Name: Direction: Solve each equ 3x+5=8

Answer 1

Answer: x = 1

Explanation:

In order to solve this equation, we will isolate x.

`\sf{3x+5=8}`

First, subtract 5 from both sides:

`\sf{3x=8-5}`

`\sf{3x=3}`

To get the final answer, divide both sides by 3:

`\sf{x=1}`

Answer 2

x = 1

Explanation:

3x + 5 = 8 ( isolate the term in x by subtracting 5 from both sides )

3x + 5 - 5 = 8 - 5

3x = 3 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 1
