Question

How do you solve two steps equations with integers for example: 5x + 3 = 8

Answer 1

Subtract 3 from both sides
5x=5
Divide both sides by 5
x=1

Answer 2

First subtract the # without a x (so 3) and the do it it to the # on the other side if the equal sign so now you should have 5x=5 and then just subtract the # infront if the x (So 5) and do that on the other side so then you should have x=1
