5 – 3x = 8 I need help

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

that is a two step algebra, first subtract 5 from both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=-1. i think your suposed to solve for x here.

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

right, but first step subtract 5 then you have -5+5-3x = 8 -5

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

then you have -3x = 3 the next step is divide by -3 and yes you have the answer right -1
