5-3x=5x+5
Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.
5-3x-5x=5
Subtract 5x from both sides.
5-8x=5
Combine -3x and -5x to get -8x.
-8x=5-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
-8x=0
Subtract 5 from 5 to get 0.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since -8 is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
