The first step would be to simplify both sides of the equal sign as much as possible. 
8x - 5 = -3(3 - 2x)
8x - 5 = -9 - (-6x)
8x - 5 = -9 + 6x

Next, you would need to combine like terms on both sides of the equal sign to one on one side of the equal sign and one on the other. 
8x - 5 = -9 + 6x
2x - 5 = -9
2x = -4

Now, all you have to do is isolate the x. To do this, you would divide both sides by 2. 
2x = -4
x = -2

I hope this helps!

Solve for x:  8x-5=-3(3-2x)

1.  Carry out the indicated multiplication:  8x - 5 = - 9 + 6x
2.  Combine like terms:  2x = -4
3.  Solve this final equation for x:     x = -2         (answer)
