Answer 1

Answer:

x = - 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3 - $\frac{x}{5}$ = 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

- $\frac{x}{5}$ = 5 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

- x = 25 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 25

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -25

Step-by-step explanation:

$3 - \frac{x}{5} = 8$

$5(3 - \frac{x}{5} ) = 5 \times 8$

$5 \times 3 - 5 \times \frac{x}{5} = 5 \times 8$

$15 - 5 \times \frac{x}{5} = 40$

$15 - x = 40$

$- x = 40 - 15$

$- x = 25$

$x = - 25$
