38+24.17 = 62.17 and has nothing to do with this
as to your question. 8 decreased by x is the same as saying:
8 - x or eight subtract "x" (where x would be an unknown constant)
now we know that when 8 is decreased by "X" the answer is 5, so
8-x=5
from there, we collect "like terms"
8=5+x ==> 8-5=x ==> 3=x
Pretty simple really.
so, now u know the theory behind it, put pen to paper, and complete your homework!
EDIT: @ Jinx, needed calculalter for 8-5 huh. :( ( and u still got 38+24.17 wrong )

8-x=5
-x=5-8
-x=-3
x=3
38+24.17= 62.17

8 - X = 5
-8 - X = - 8
0 - X = - 3
X = 3
8 - 3 = 5 checks

It seems to me that you are trying to have us do your homework. I, for one, am not to contribute to your laziness.
