    8x-5=23

    You would add 5 to the - 5. And add 5 to the 23.

    8x=28

    Then you divide by 8 on both sides then you will get:

    x=3.5

    3.5 is the answer

    Step-by-step explanation:

    suppose the number is x

    8x - 5 = 23

    8x = 23 + 5

    8x = 28

    8x : 8 = 28 : 8

    x = 3.5
