5x−8=3x+3 whats the x?

5x−8=3x+3 whats the x?

$$5x-8=3x+3 \quad | \quad-3x\\\\ \underbrace{5x-3x}_{2x}-8 = \underbrace{3x-3x}_{0}+3\\\\ 2x-8=3\quad | \quad +8\\\\ 2x\underbrace{-8+8}_{0} =3+8\\\\ 2x=11\quad | \quad:2\\\\ {\not{2}x\over \not{2}} = {11 \over 2}\\\\ x={11 \over 2}\\\\ x=5.5$$

but if we dont transfer the numbers then this cant be solved!!!

Technically you do not transer them from one side to the other.

you add or subtract or whatever from BOTH sides.

Maybe this was a trick question Rosala.

well u musn't...thats the problem... the equation has to be the same on the both sizes...

woow thank you very much :*

Heureka your a genius!id like to give u a thumbs up for that!

I like your \underbrace{}_

Heureka, I do not think that I have seen you use that before.  

Another for me to try and remember and make use of.  Thank you.

x=5.5 see the graph:

Thanks Heueka,

It probably was the graphical answer that was desired. I didn't even think of that.  

i wonder how genius you are heureka!i wish i was like you!

Thank you Melody,

thank you rosala
