<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Here we have , If the first step in the solution of the equation 2x - 8 = 5x + 3 is "subtract 2x," then in the form of a paragraph, explain in complete sentences the next steps necessary to completely solve the equation for x. Let's solve this :
2x - 8 = 5x + 3
⇒
⇒ { subtract 2x from both side }
⇒
⇒
⇒ { subtract 3 from both sides }
⇒
⇒
⇒ { divide 3 from both sides }
⇒
