    2x+5=8

    -2x - 2x

    5 = 6x

    divide by 6 on both sides

    .8333=x (it's a repeating decimal)

    12 (.8333) = 9.9996 (depending on how the teacher like it rounded)

    X = 10

    ~because~

    2x+5=8x, subtract 2x from both sides:

    5=6x, divide 6 on both sides:

    x=5/6, then rewrite the equation:

    12 (5/6)

    x=10
