Solve for x

-3 + 8x - 5 = - 8

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

When we combine like terms on the left side we get - 8 + 8x = - 8. Adding 8 to both sides to get rid of the - 8 we get 8x = 0, and dividing the whole equation by 8 to get rid of the coefficient of x we get x = 0.

x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

combine like terms

-8+8x=-8

add 8 to both sides

8x=0

x=0

The solution is 0
