$\"5x=3x-8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 3x from both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=-8\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 2 to get 4x on the left hand side.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%282x%29=-2%288%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x=-16\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add 2 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%2B2=-16%2B2=-14\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
