Answer:
32-12=20 or x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
This is basically saying 8x-3x=20
so first you want to do 8x-3x to end up with 5x
then from there you have the equation..
5x=20
in order to figure out what x is you need to divide 20 by five so you just have the x and get rid of the 5
so 20 divided by 5 = 4
this means x=4 but you need to plug it into the equation
8x= 8 times 4 = 32 and 3x= 3 times 4 = 12
so 32-12=20
