To solve for x, we first need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
3x + 18 = 5x + 8
First, let's move the terms with x to one side of the equation. Subtract 3x from both sides:
18 = 2x + 8
Next, subtract 8 from both sides to isolate 2x:
10 = 2x
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x:
x = 5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 3x + 18 = 5x + 8 is x = 5.
3x+18=5x+8
