Assuming that your equation is:_
2X - 8 = -4X +3, adding 8 to both sides gives,
2X = -4X + 3 +8, gives
2X = -4X +11, then adding 4X to both sides,
6X = 11 which gives X = 11/6 = 1.83333.
your original equation was NOT an equation - that is an expression where two things were equal to each other.

Simplify the variable expression 2x plus y plus 5 - 3?
The expression goes like this: 2x+y+5-3. x and y are variables so we cannot perform unless we have a linear or simultaneous or as such equations.But operation can be performed if like terms are present, but in your problem the answer will be: 2x+y+2
What does simplify the expression mean?
to simplify an expression means to take all the like terms and make them one. for example if the expression is 2x+5x+1x-4 , you would simplify it by adding 2x,5x,&1x because they are all alike... it would become 8x-4
What is 2X plus 9?
It is an expression.
Simplify 5x - 8a plus 4a - 2x plus a?
5x - 8a + 4a - 2x + a = 3x - 3a
Simplify x - 2x plus 3?
x - 2x + 3 = 3 - x
