Question

8-3x=7x+8..what and how do i solve this?

Answer 1

8-3x=7x+8

Since 7x contains the variable to solve for, move it to the left-hand side of the equation by subtracting 7x from both sides.
-3x+8-7x=8

Since -3x and -7x are like terms, subtract 7x from -3x to get -10x.
-10x+8=8

Since 8 does not contain the variable to solve for, move it to the right-hand side of the equation by subtracting 8 from both sides.
-10x=-8+8

Add 8 to -8 to get 0.
-10x=0

Divide each term in the equation by -10.
-(10x)/(-10)=(0)/(-10)

Simplify the left-hand side of the equation by canceling the common factors.
x=(0)/(-10)

Any expression with zero in the numerator is zero.
x=0
