Sorry that was 5(8-x)=3x.

First: our goal is solving for the variable "x" and let's keep "x" on one side:
Second: add x to both sides:
8 - x + x = 3x + x
8 = 4x
Third: divide everything by 4:
8/4 = 4x/4
2 = x, x = 2

8-x=3x
or,8=3x+x
or,4x=8
so x=8/4=2 Solved

8 - x = 3x.
The goal is always to get the variable to one side, so add x to both sides.
8 = 3x + x
Simplify on the right side.
8 = 4x
Now divide by 4.
2 = x
Hope that helps!

(8-x)=3x clear ( )
8-x=3x add x to each side
8=4x divide both sides by 4
x=2
