5x-7-5=8x+10-16

5 x - 7 - 5 = 8 x + 10 - 16

x = - 2

Solution steps

5 x - 7 - 5 = 8 x + 10 - 16

Subtract the numbers:

- 7 - 5 = - 12

5 x - 12 = 8 x + 10 - 16

Add/Subtract the numbers:

10 - 16 = - 6

5 x - 12 = 8 x - 6

Move

12

to the right side

5 x = 8 x + 6

Move

8 x

to the left side

- 3 x = 6

Divide both sides by

- 3

x = - 2

- 2 = \frac{x}{8} - 5

\frac{( 6 x + 3 )}{10} = \frac{( x + 2 )}{20}

c + \frac{3}{8} = 1 \frac{1}{3}

π^{2} = π

- 3 x - 12 = 15
