Solution - Linear equations with one unknown

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                     -8*x-(3)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Pulling out like terms :

 1.1     Pull out like factors :

   -8x - 3  =   -1 • (8x + 3) 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 2.1      Solve  :    -8x-3 = 0 

 Add  3  to both sides of the equation : 
                      -8x = 3
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  8x = -3


Divide both sides of the equation by 8:
                     x = -3/8 = -0.375
