Solution, solve\:for\:x,\:\left|x\right|-8=-5\quad :\quad x=-3\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x=3

Steps:

\left|x\right|-8=-5

\mathrm{Add\:}8\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}, \left|x\right|-8+8=-5+8

\mathrm{Simplify}, \left|x\right|=3

|f\left(x\right)|=a\quad \Rightarrow \:f\left(x\right)=-a\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:f\left(x\right)=a, x=-3\quad \mathrm{or}\quad \:x=3

What you can do is subtract 1x from each side 
Then you subtract 3 from each side
Then it tells you x=2
Always put what you think x is back into the problem and see if it works out

Example on how you do it:
(x+5)=(2x+3)
5=(x+3)
2=x

The axis of symmetry is x = 2.
