Answer:
11-(x+5) = 8x - 3
opening up the brackets,
11-x -5= 8x -3
6-x= 8x-3
bringing the x over to the other side of the equation,
6= 8x -3 +x
6= 9x-3
bringing the -3 to the other side of the equation,
6+3= 9x
9x= 9
x=1
1
Step-by-step explanation:
11-x-5=8x-3
6-x=8x-3
Combining similar terms
6+3=8x+x
9=9x
Dividing both sides by 9
1=x
