Question 618844: 10x+8-5=9x-3

You can put this solution on YOUR website! 10x + 8 - 5 = 9x - 3
Combine like terms:
8 - 5 = 3
10x + 3 = 9x - 3
Subtract 9x from each side of the equation.
10x + 3 - 9x = 9x - 3 - 9x
Combine like terms:
10x - 9x = 1x
9x - 9x = 0
1x + 3 = -3
Subtract 3 from each side of the equation.
1x + 3 - 3 = -3 - 3
Combine like terms:
3 - 3 = 0
-3 - 3 = -6
1x = -6 or
x = -6
