The goal is to solve for a value of x such that the equation is true. The equation is:

8x + 5 = 7x + 8

First, subtract 5 from both sides, so that there is only a constant on the right side.

8x = 7x + 3

Next, subtract 7x from both sides, so that the variable, x, is only on the left side.

x = 3

The result is x = 3.
