8x-3=3x+17

Solve for x

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable, x by getting all the numbers to one sides and the variables to the other

8x-3=3x+17

Subtract 3x from both sides

8x-3x-3=3x-3x+17

5x-3=17

Add 3 to both sides

5x-3+3=17+3

5x=20

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5=20/5

x=4

x = 4
