To solve the equation using the substitution method, we need to isolate one variable on one side of the equation.
Given the equation: 9x + 3 = 8x + 5
Step 1: Isolate one variable. Let's isolate x on one side by moving 8x to the left side.
9x - 8x + 3 = 8x - 8x + 5
Simplifying, we get: x + 3 = 5
Step 2: Solve for x. Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
x + 3 - 3 = 5 - 3
Simplifying, we get: x = 2
Therefore, the solution to the equation 9x + 3 = 8x + 5 using the substitution method is x = 2.
