Evaluate

50 = 5 x - 3 - 8 x - 7

Subtract the terms

More Steps

50 = - 3 x - 10

Swap the sides of the equation

- 3 x - 10 = 50

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- 3 x = 50 + 10

Add the numbers

- 3 x = 60

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

3 x = - 60

Divide both sides

\frac{3 x}{3} = \frac{- 60}{3}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 60}{3}
