Question

6x+5=-8+3x+25

Answer 1

To solve the equation \(6x + 5 = -8 + 3x + 25\), we first simplify the right side:

\[
-8 + 25 = 17
\]

So, the equation simplifies to:

\[
6x + 5 = 3x + 17
\]

Next, we want to get all terms involving \(x\) on one side and the constant terms on the other side. We can do this by subtracting \(3x\) from both sides:

\[
6x - 3x + 5 = 17
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
3x + 5 = 17
\]

Now, subtract \(5\) from both sides:

\[
3x = 17 - 5
\]

This gives us:

\[
3x = 12
\]

Now, divide both sides by \(3\):

\[
x = \frac{12}{3}
\]

So we find:

\[
x = 4
\]

Thus, the solution is:

\[
\boxed{4}
\]
