what is the leading coefficient -3x+8
The are none because the coefficient of a term is the number in front of the variable as for example 3x whereas 3 is the coefficient and x is the variable and 3x means 3 times x
4x + 5 = 3x + 84x-3x + 5 - 5 = 3x - 3x + 8 -5x = 3
3X-5 = 19 3X = 24 X=8
3x-5=40x+3 Subtract 3x-5 from each side 0=37x+8 -8=37x x= -8/37

4x + 5 = 3x + 84x-3x + 5 - 5 = 3x - 3x + 8 -5x = 3
3X-5 = 19 3X = 24 X=8
3x-5=40x+3 Subtract 3x-5 from each side 0=37x+8 -8=37x x= -8/37
6x + 8 = 3x - 5
3(x - 5)/4 = -6 3x - 15 = -24 3x = -9 x = -3 Check it. -3 - 5 = -8 3/4 of -8 is -6 It checks.
3x + 8 = -5 Subtract 8 from both sides: 3x = -5 - 8 = -13 Divide both sides by 3: x = -13/3
8
8 is the coefficient. A coefficient is the number in front of a variable.
2(3x + 4) = 6x + 8 3(x - 5) = 3x - 15 6x + 8 - 3x + 15 = 3x + 23
