5x%2B3%2B3x=8x%2B3-x Start with the given equation.


8x%2B3=8x%2B3-x Combine like terms on the left side.


8x%2B3=7x%2B3 Combine like terms on the right side.


8x=7x%2B3-3 Subtract 3 from both sides.


8x-7x=3-3 Subtract 7x from both sides.


x=3-3 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=0 Combine like terms on the right side.
