8x+5=5+6x

1. Get variables on the same side by subtracting 6x from both sides.

8x-6x+5=5+6x-6x

2x+5=5

2. Move all the constants to the side opposite of the variable side. (5 is a constant. Any value without an x.)

2x+5-5=5-5

2x=0

3. Get the x by itself by dividing both sides by 2.

2x/2=0/2

x=0

Your final answer is x=0
