Question

$$7 x - 3 = 3 x + 5 x$$

Solve for x

$x=-3$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine $3x$ and $5x$ to get $8x$.

$$7x-3=8x$$

Subtract $8x$ from both sides.

$$7x-3-8x=0$$

Combine $7x$ and $-8x$ to get $-x$.

$$-x-3=0$$

Add $3$ to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$-x=3$$

Multiply both sides by $-1$.

$$x=-3$$
