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 :

                     2*(8-x)-(3*x)=0 

Step by step solution :

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  2 • (8 - x) -  3x  = 0 

Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  16 - 5x  = 0 

Step  3  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

 3.1      Solve  :    -5x+16 = 0 

 Subtract  16  from both sides of the equation : 
                      -5x = -16
Multiply both sides of the equation by (-1) :  5x = 16


Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
                     x = 16/5 = 3.200
