Question 530865
{{{5x-3=13-3x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{5x=13-3x+3}}} Add {{{3}}} to both sides.



{{{5x+3x=13+3}}} Add {{{3x}}} to both sides.



{{{8x=13+3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{8x=16}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(16)/(8)}}} Divide both sides by {{{8}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=2}}} Reduce.
