Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
8 + -3x = 14 + -5x
Solving
8 + -3x = 14 + -5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '5x' to each side of the equation.
8 + -3x + 5x = 14 + -5x + 5x
Combine like terms: -3x + 5x = 2x
8 + 2x = 14 + -5x + 5x
Combine like terms: -5x + 5x = 0
8 + 2x = 14 + 0
8 + 2x = 14
Add '-8' to each side of the equation.
8 + -8 + 2x = 14 + -8
Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0
0 + 2x = 14 + -8
2x = 14 + -8
Combine like terms: 14 + -8 = 6
2x = 6
Divide each side by '2'.
x = 3
