the answer is 0

Explanation:

add 3 to -8 you get -5

add 5 to -5 and you get 0

divide 0 by 8 and the answer is 0

Answer 2

Do you have any options? If not, try going with this method to help you understand this problem a little bit better :) Here we go!

-3 + 8(x) - 5 {-8} = ?

8(x) = ? You have to solve this to make it more "easier" if that makes sense

From the looks of it you have to divide by the number, which we call 8

Since, we have only one solution in this problem, the value of "x" is 0

`x = 0`

And not all one solution problem(s) always equal "0". .. it can equal any number sometimes

Good Luck!
