Solve for x.

8x + 15 = 3x - 20

Solve for x
8x + 15 = 3x - 20 Add 20 to both sides. It should become 8x + 35 = 3x Then minus 8x on both sides, which is now 35= -5x Divide both sides by "negative" 5 to get x by itself X= -7
Check your answer by substitution. (Plug -7 for x)

your answer it carefully
**but really if the answer you are looking for is the value of x you have to take out x and do 23 - 20? **

i struggled on this too

To solve the equation 8 x + 15 = 3 x − 20 , we isolate x to find x = − 7 . Checking the solution by substitution confirms that this answer is correct.
