Answer:

Im solving for x here u didn't specify so lol

Explanation:

3x - 8 = 8x - 7

To clarify the "- 8" and the "- 7" are negatives.

3x - 8 = 8x - 7

Add 7 both sides

3x - 8 = 8x - 7

+ 7 + 7

Now u have

3x - 1 = 8x

Subtract 3x both sides

3x - 1 = 8x

-3x -3x

You get

- 1 = 5x

Divide by 5 both sides

- 1 / 5 = 5x / 5

-0.2 = x

That's your answer help me out I need points <3
