Question

Question 1)
Solve 8x + 3 = 3x + 18​

Answer 1

Explanation:

8x-3x = 18-3(like terms)

or,5x = 15

or,x=15/5

or,x=3

Answer 2

x = 3

Explanation:

in order to solve for the value of x in the expression

8x + 3 = 3x + 18​

we are going to simply combine the like terms then later evaluate for the value of x

8x + 3 = 3x + 18​

8x + 3 - 3x = 18

8x -3x = 18 -3

5x = 15

divide both sides by the coefficient of x

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 3

therefore the value of x in the expression

8x + 3 = 3x + 18​ is equals to 3
