Answer 5

Ok we'll do this step by step.
First, copy the original equation: 5-3x=8
Next, get x on it's own. So we need to get rid of the 5 on the left side. But whatever you do on one side you need to do to the other. Subtracting 5 on both sides gives us -3x=3
Finally, divide by -3. Remember, the -3x is really -3 times x, so we divide to remove it.
So, the answer is x equals 3 divided by -3.

Answer 6

Does that answer your question?

Answer 7

5 - 3x = 8

if you bring 5 to the other side it wont be a positive number anymore it will change to a negative so

-3x = 8 - 5

which is

-3x = 3

now divide both sides by 3 because you want to get x on its own

-3x/3 = 3/3

which gives you

-x = 1

now swap them around to get x instead of -x

and the answer is

-1 = x
