To solve for x, we need to combine like terms on the left side of the equation.
8x + 3x - 5 + 20
Simplifying this expression gives:
11x + 15
Thus, the solution is 11x + 15.
Solve for x: 8x - 5 + 3x + 20.

Incorrect.
Apologies for the error. Let's try again:
To solve the equation 8x - 5 + 3x + 20, we need to combine like terms:
8x + 3x - 5 + 20
This simplifies to:
11x + 15
So the solution is 11x + 15.
To solve the equation 8x - 5 + 3x + 20, we need to combine like terms:
8x + 3x - 5 + 20
This simplifies to:
11x + 15
So the solution is 11x + 15.
the correct answer was 5...
Apologies once again for the incorrect response.
To correctly solve the equation 8x - 5 + 3x + 20, we combine like terms:
8x + 3x - 5 + 20
This simplifies to:
11x + 15
Now, set this expression equal to zero and solve for x:
11x + 15 = 0
Subtract 15 from both sides of the equation:
11x = -15
Divide both sides by 11 to isolate x:
x = -15/11
So, the correct solution for x is -15/11 or approximately -1.36.
