Question

Help with a Geometry problem, please?
Thanks! ^.^

Answer 1

If AB= 5x-8 and EF= 3x, then x= _____ ?

Answer 2

How would I set up the equation?

Answer 3

Does AB=EF?

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

so 5x-8=3x

Answer 6

Okay, so then would I add the # of x's to get 8x?

Answer 7

2x-8=AB you cant really solve for X because there are two X's in the equations

Answer 8

Idk this is weird

Answer 9

Whitemonsterbunny17, you can only say 5x+3x = 8x only if the x terms are on the same side

Answer 10

Huh? I have to solve for x though?

Answer 11

but the x terms are on different sides

Answer 12

Oh, then what would I do? o.O

Answer 13

you have to move the x terms so they all end up on the same side

Answer 14

so either move the 5x over to the right side

or move the 3x to the left side

Answer 15

Does it matter which side?

Answer 16

nope

Answer 17

Okay, so then I add the x's to get 8x, right?
