*Solve the x-variable by isolating it on one side.
first: combine "like" terms - subtract 5 from both sides (when you move a term to the opposite side, always use the opposite sign).
x + 5 - 5 = 8 - 5
x = 8 - 5
x = 3

x + 5 = 8
subtract 5 from both sides to get x by itself.
x + 5 - 5 = 8 - 5
x = 3

You need to solve for x. Basically you want to get x all by itself. In order to do that you have to subtract 5 from eight.
x+5=8
x=8-5
x=3

x+5=8
-5=-5
subtract 5 from both sides always use the reverse sign to get x on one side of the equation
x=3
