Solve 8-5(8+3x)=13

Evaluate

8 - 5 (8 + 3 x) = 13

Move the expression to the left side

8 - 5 (8 + 3 x) - 13 = 0

Subtract the numbers

- 5 - 5 (8 + 3 x) = 0

Calculate

More Steps

- 45 - 15 x = 0

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

- 15 x = 0 + 45

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 15 x = 45

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

15 x = - 45

Divide both sides

\frac{15 x}{15} = \frac{- 45}{15}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 45}{15}
