Question 549105
{{{x+3=2x-5}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{x=2x-5-3}}} Subtract {{{3}}} from both sides.



{{{x-2x=-5-3}}} Subtract {{{2x}}} from both sides.



{{{-x=-5-3}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



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



{{{x=(-8)/(-1)}}} Divide both sides by {{{-1}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=8}}} Reduce.
