Yeah, you have to take in consideration the other side, but you are right x - 5 =8 Now, can you find x?
so then I would do: \[x=13?\]
Yep :)
Good job
Oh okay! Thanks I got it now!

x=5
@arch1 no, it simplifies to x-5 = 8 so you can add the 5 to both sides to isolate x, in which you get x = 5+18, or x=13
