Answer:

This: Im sorry but, I can't type it all, I just looked up some help.

Explanation:

You can rewrite the equation as

5

x

3

x

+

8

=

10

Then

5

x

3

x

=

2

x

So

2

x

+

8

=

10

Then, to move the whole numbers to one side, you subtract

8

from both sides

2

x

=

18

To get rid of the

2

in front of the

x

, divide both sides by

2

x

=

9

5x+8-3x=-10

subtract 8 from both sides to isolate variables

5x-3x=-18

combine like terms

2x=-18

solve by dividing both sides by 2

x=-9
