Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :
8*x+36-(5*x+60)=0
Step by step solution :
STEP

:
Pulling out like terms
1.1 Pull out like factors :
3x - 24 = 3 • (x - 8)

Equations which are never true:
2.1 Solve : 3 = 0
This equation has no solution.
A a non-zero constant never equals zero.
Solving a Single Variable Equation:
2.2 Solve : x-8 = 0
Add 8 to both sides of the equation :
x = 8
One solution was found :
x = 8
