x+3+2x=5+x+8 Simplify both sides of the equation.
x+2x+3=x+5+8
3x+3=x+13 add or subtract terms from both sides of the equation until x's are on one side and constants are on the other.
3x-x+3=x-x+13
2x+3=13
2x+3-3=13-3
2x=10 Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x.
2x/2=10/2

To check your answer, let x=5 and see if both sides of the equation equal.
(5)+3+2(5)=5+(5)+8
5+3+10=5+5+8
18=18 We're right!!!
Happy Calculating!!!
