Answer:

x=11

Explanation:

(5x-3x)-3-8=2x+8-8

NOTE: when you add the -3-8 and maintain the sign - sign number

unless it appears like this 3--8

2x-11=2x

then you group like terms

2x-2x=11

NOTE: when a a positive number crosses the equal to sign it becomes negative and the vice versa for the negative sign

x=11

NOTE: 2x-2x is not the same as 2s-2x
