You can put this solution on YOUR website! Starting with:
4-(8-5x)=3x-8
Distribute the negative (on the left) to each term inside the () to get:
4-8+5x=3x-8
Combine like-terms on the left:
-4+5x=3x-8
Adding 4 to both sides we get:
5x=3x-4
Subtracting 3x from both sides we get:
2x = -4
Finally, divide both sides by 2:
x = -2 (this is your solution)
