Yes sure:
8x-2-5x=8
Take the 2 to the other side of the equal
and change the sign from being - to +
8x-5x=8+2
Add up the total of the right side of the equal
8x-5x=10
Minus 5x from 8x which is 3x
3x=10
x=10/3
also equals to
x=3 1/3
(i am only 13, so i am not sure,but i am confident it's correct )
therefore
3x-2=8
move the 2 to the other side and there by changing it to +ve
3x= 8+2
3x= 10
to get X One Simple thing to is if u have to move three to the other more over any multiply becmes a devide and -ve becomes +ve and vice versa
