Answer: yes

Step-by-step explanation: To decide whether 0 is a solution for

this equation, we can simply plug a 0 in for x.

If the statement holds true, then 0 is a solution.

Plugging in 0 for x, we have 3(0) + 8 = 5(0) + 8.

Now since anything times 0 is 0, we have 8 = 8.

Since 8 = 8 is a true statement, 0 is a solution.
