−8x+5=
−6x+3
To solve this equation, we can first combine like terms on both sides of the equation:
-8x + 5 = -6x + 3
Next, we can isolate the variable by subtracting -6x from both sides:
-8x + 6x + 5 = 3
Combine like terms:
-2x + 5 = 3
Finally, we can isolate the variable by subtracting 5 from both sides:
-2x = -2
To solve for x, divide both sides by -2:
x = -2 / -2
x = 1
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 1.
