Verified answer

8x - 2 = 3x + 3

Isolate the terms with x

8x - 3x = 2 + 3

if x is a banana, then

8 bananas - 3 bananas = 5 bananas

5x = 5

x = 1

This is pretty easy...

You need to swap around and make both sides even.

See 8x and 3x both have x's so we will move the +3x down below the 8x but will change it into a negative so -3x because we are swapping.

+8x

-3x

= 5x

Do the same for the -2 and plus 3 but this time moving the -2 to the other side and making it a positive

+3

+2

= 5

Then it is 5x = 5

what number goes into 5?

5 does!

so we will divide by 5 on both sides

5x/5 = 1x but we dont need to put the 1 so its just X

then 5/5 = 1

but we dont need to put that either

so answer is

1 or X

I will help you , see below :

The equation is

8x-2=3x+3

bring the term having x variable to one side and the other on one side

8x-3x=3+2(signs are changed because if shifting)

5x=5

x=5/5

x=1

This is the solution

hope that you got it :)

Move the variables to one side of the equation and do the same to move whole numbers to the other, then solve for x. 8x - 3x=3+2 now you can figure it out.
