To solve the equation \( 8x - 5 = 3x + 20 \), we will isolate \( x \).
1. Start by getting all terms involving \( x \) on one side and constant terms on the other:
\[
8x - 3x = 20 + 5
\]
2. Simplify both sides:
\[
5x = 25
\]
3. Now, divide both sides by 5:
\[
x = \frac{25}{5} = 5
\]
Thus, the solution is \( x = 5 \).
