Answer:

x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand.

8x-3=10x+5

2. Subtract 8x8x from both sides.

-3=10x+5-8x

3. Simplify 10x+5-8x to 2x+5.

-3=2x+5

4. Subtract 5 from both sides.

-3-5=2x

5. Simplify -3-5 to -8.

-8=2x

6. Divide both sides by 2.

-8/2 =x

7. Simplify 8/2 to 4

-4=x

8. Switch sides.

x=-4
