20+3x=1-5x
Multiply 5 and 4 to get 20.
20+3x+5x=1
Add 5x to both sides.
20+8x=1
Combine 3x and 5x to get 8x.
8x=1-20
Subtract 20 from both sides.
8x=-19

x=\frac{-19}{8}
Divide both sides by 8.
x=-\frac{19}{8}
Fraction \frac{-19}{8} can be rewritten as -\frac{19}{8} by extracting the negative sign.
