Hi there!

»»————- ★ ————-««

I believe your answer is:


\boxed{x = -4}

»»————- ★ ————-««

Here’s why:

⸻⸻⸻⸻


\boxed{\text{Solving for 'x'...}}\\\\3x - 5 = 5x + 3\\-----------\\\rightarrow 3x - 5 + 5 = 5x + 3 + 5\\\\\rightarrow 3x = 5x + 8\\\\\rightarrow 3x - 5x = 5x - 5x +8\\\\\rightarrow -2x = 8\\\\\rightarrow (-2x=8)/(-2)\\\\\rightarrow \boxed{x = -4}

⸻⸻⸻⸻

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

  • \boxed{\large{\bold{\blue{ANSWER~:) }}}}
    \sf{ 3x-5=5x+3 }


  • \sf{5x-3x=-5-3 }


  • \sf{ 2x=-8 }


  • \sf{ x=(-8)/(2) }


  • \bold{ x=-4 }
