8x - 3 = 5x + 1
Add 3 to each side:
8x = 5x + 4
Subtract 5x from each side:
3x = 4
Divide each side by 3:
x = 4/3

y = 12x + 5x - 7 Since '12x' and '5x' both have the same variable, you are able to combine them. To do this you just need to add 12 + 5 to get 17. After doing this you can rewrite the equation as y = 17x - 7. You can then solve this equation for different values by plugging in a number for 'x' or 'y' or graphing the equation.
add 3x and 5x together to make 8x. Then your equation will be 8x=32. Lastly, divide 8 to both sides which will make x=4.
Assuming the sign of 3 is a minus: Add 3 to each side: 5x = 15 Divide each side by 5: x = 3 QED
That equation has no solution. There is no possible number that's equal to 18 more than itself.
10x - 18 = 5x + 2 Add -5x + 18 to both sides of the equation, to get: 5x = 20, from which x = 4.
