Subtract \(3\) from both sides.
\[5x=5-3x-3\]
Simplify \(5-3x-3\) to \(-3x+2\).
\[5x=-3x+2\]
Add \(3x\) to both sides.
\[5x+3x=2\]
Simplify \(5x+3x\) to \(8x\).
\[8x=2\]
Divide both sides by \(8\).
\[x=\frac{2}{8}\]
Simplify \(\frac{2}{8}\) to \(\frac{1}{4}\).
\[x=\frac{1}{4}\]
Decimal Form: 0.25
x=1/4
