Solve,
9x + 5 - x + 3
Group the same together,
= (9x - x) + (5 + 3 )
= 8x + 8

9x+5-x+3=10x+8
9x-x-10x=8-5-3
-20x=0
x=0/-20
x=0

No.
It should be like this, collect like terms and put in one bracket
(9x - x) +(5+3)
=8x +8

9X + 5 - X + 3 = 0
8X + 8 = 0
8X + 8 - 8 = 0 - 8
8X = -8
8X / 8 = -8 / 8
X = -1

No, it equals 8x+8. You have to be careful with those minus operations.
