Answer:

step by step below.

Step-by-step explanation:

after subtracting the 2x, youd have 3x on the right side. and they you would want to get the numbers on one side, so subract the 3 to the left side. and then you would have -11.

[tex]2x -8= 5x +3 \\-2x = -2x \\-8=3x+3 \\-3= -3 \\-11=3x \\[/tex]

solve for x if necessary
