Combine like terms:

-3x = 5x + 8    

2x = 8

Divide 2 on both sides to get x alone

Final Answer: x = 4

Solve 5x+3=3x+11<br><br>Please can someone answer this.​
scoray [572]
5x + 3 = 3x + 11

• first put all the x-values on one side and the rest on the other

Remember: when the number moves to the other side of the equal sign the sign (+ OR - switches. For ex: the 3 on the left becomes negative when moved to the right side of the equal sign)

5x - 3x = 11 - 3

• subtract left and right sides separately

2x = 8

• divide both sides by 2 to solve for x

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4 (final answer)

In what ways can horizontal, vertical, and oblique asymptotes be identified?
antiseptic1488 [7]
A horizontal asymptote y = a is a horizontal line which a curve approaches as x approaches positive or negative infinity. If the limit of a curve as x approaches either positive or negative infinity is a, then y=a is a horizontal asymptote.

A vertical asymptote x = b is a vertical line that a curve approaches but never crosses. The value b is not in the domain of the curve. More precisely if the limit of a curve as x approaches b is either positive or negative infinity then x=b is a vertical asymptote.

An oblique asymptote is a diagonal line (a line whose slope is either positive or negative) that a curve approaches. For a rational function R(x) = P(x) / Q (x) an oblique asymptote y = my + b is obtained by dividing P(x) by Q (x). Doing so will yield a quotient and remainder. If we set the quotient equal to y that gives the equation of the oblique asymptote.
