To solve for x, first, we need to simplify the equation by combining like terms:
8x - 5 = 3x + 20
Next, we need to isolate the variable x by moving all terms with x to one side of the equation and constants to the other side:
8x - 3x = 20 + 5
5x = 25
Now, divide both sides by 5 to solve for x:
x = 25/5
x = 5
Therefore, the solution to the equation 8x - 5 = 3x + 20 is x = 5.
