Solve the literal equation 2y + 5x = 3x +8 for x
help please I'm on a timed test

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5x = 3x + 8

Reorder the terms:

5x = 8 + 3x

Solving

5x = 8 + 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

5x + -3x = 8 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 5x + -3x = 2x

2x = 8 + 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

2x = 8 + 0

2x = 8

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4

x = -y + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2y + 5x = 3x + 8

2x + 2y = 8

2x = −2y + 8

x= −y + 4

c. side angle side. u shares the same sides
