this a first degree equation. Therefore,

5x + 8 = x - 36

First take likely terms in one side of the equation and independent terms in the other side.

5x - x = -36 - 8 checking the result: 5x(-11) + 8 = -11 -36

4x = -44 -55 + 8 = -11 -36

x = -44/4 so, -47= -47

x = -11 x = -11 is the correct answer
