Question

Solve for x:3x=5x -8​

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

3x = 5x - 8 is your equation. To solve for x, you want to get all the x's on the same side. You first subtract 5x from each side to get -2x = -8, and multiply both by 1- to get 2x = 8, and then divide both sides by 2 to find x = 4.

Answer 2

Explanation:

3x=5x -8​

3x - 5x = - 8

-2x = -8

x = -8/-2

x = 4
