Solve 3x+18=5x+8

1 answer

To solve the equation 3x + 18 = 5x + 8, you can start by grouping the x terms on one side and the constant terms on the other side.

Subtracting 3x from both sides, the equation becomes:

18 = 2x + 8

Next, subtracting 8 from both sides, we have:

10 = 2x

To isolate x, divide both sides by 2:

10 / 2 = x

5 = x

Therefore, the solution to the equation 3x + 18 = 5x + 8 is x = 5.
