5x-8=3x

As long as you do the same thing on both sides of the equal sign you're fine; the equation is still the same. For a start you can add 8 on both sides.

This means that 5x-8+8=3x+8

Next let's subtract 3x from both sides.

This means that 5x-8+8-3x=3x+8-3x.

The left side is now equal to 2x while the right side is equal to 8.

In other words, 2x=8.

Divide by two on each sides. This means that x=4.
