You have to keep order of operations in mind.
1. Take care of the parentheses; distribute.
-3+6x-3=-20-8x
Simplified: 6x-6=-20-8x
2. Isolate the x variable.
Add 8x to both sides and add 6 to both sides.
14x=-14
3. Solve for x.
Divide by 14 on both sides.
x=-1
1/4x - 2 = 3/8
First, to start solving this, we can rearrange our fraction. Let's take 1/4x and change it to x/4. Why? Well, a variable can also be considered as the number 1.

Second, now we can continue solving for our variable (x). Let's add 2 to each side.

Third, let's simplify 3/8 + 2. (3/8 + 2 = 2.375 =19/8)

Fourth, continue trying to get the variable by itself. Multiply each side by 4.

Fifth, let's simplify 19/8 × 4. This is simple. Leave the denominator be and just do 19 × 4, which equals 76.

Sixth, our final step is to simplify our fraction. To do so, we will need to list the factors of the numerator and denominator and find the greatest common factor (GCF).
Factors of 76: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
Since 4 is our first common factor, it is considered our GCF.
Seventh, now let's divide. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF (4) to create our new simplified fraction.

Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
0) the basic formula is: L=v*t, where L - distance, v - speed/velocity; t - time;
1) if the person's speed in still water is 'v' and the speed of water is 5 (according to the condition), then the upstream speed is 'v-5' and the downstream speed is 'v+5';
2) according to the condition the upstream time and the downstream time are the same, it means t₁=t₂=t, where t₁=upstream time and t₂=downstream time;
3) according to the items above it is possible to make up the equation of the upstream travel: t(v-5)=3; ⇒ t=3/(v-5);
4) according to the items above it is possible to make up the equation of the downstream travel: t(v+5)=13; ⇒ t=13/(v+5);
5) if t=3/(v-5) and t=13/(v+5), then
