In 3x - 5x - 8 we can combine the 3x - 5x to get -2x and finish with this:

3x - 5x - 8 = -2x - 8

We can also divide by -2 to say the same thing another way, so let's do that. Remember that to divide two quantities (the -2x and the -8) by another number, we have to divide that number into each term. Let's do that.

-2x - 8 = (-2x / -2) + (-8 / -2)

Don't be confused by the "+" sign in the middle. We preserved the sign of the 8, which is "-" here, and that sign is inside the parens with the 8.

-2x - 8 = (-2x / -2) + (-8 / -2) = -2 (x + 4)

We've discovered two ways to write the answer, and both say the same thing (even though they look a bit different).

4'x8' full piece of plywood if you cut this into 4 equal pieces what would the final measurement or the pieces of wood be?

Well, darling, if you slice that 4'x8' plywood into 4 equal pieces, you'll end up with pieces that are 2'x4' each. Simple math, honey, nothing fancy about it. Just make sure you measure twice and cut once, unless you want uneven pieces and a whole lot of regret.

What is the weight of one sheet of 4'x8'x12' of high strength drywall?

There is no such measurement as you quote -4'x8'x12'. - If you mean 4'x8' x 1/2", then it's a standard size. The old standard sheet weighed about 54 pounds. The new 'light' sheet weighs about 32 pounds.
