Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]5x +8=2x - 3[/tex]
Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
5x+8=2x−3
Step 1: Subtract 2x from both sides.
5x+8−2x=2x−3−2x
3x+8=−3
Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides.
3x+8−8=−3−8
3x=−11
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3.
[tex] \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{ - 11}{3} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{ - 11}{3} [/tex]
