Answer 1

D.0

Explanation:

−3+8x−5=−8

−3+8x+−5=−8

(8x)+(−3+−5)=−8

8x+−8=−8

8x−8=−8

Step 2: Add 8 to both sides.

8x−8+8=−8+8

8x=0

Step 3: Divide both sides by 8.

8x/8=0/8

x=0

Answer 2

x=0

Explanation:

-3 + 8x - 5 = -8

Combine like terms

-8+8x = -8

Add 8 to each side

-8+8+8x = -8+8

8x = 0

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 0/8

x =0
