20x+8=8\left(3x-5\right)
Combine 13x and 7x to get 20x.
20x+8=24x-40
Use the distributive property to multiply 8 by 3x-5.
20x+8-24x=-40
Subtract 24x from both sides.
-4x+8=-40
Combine 20x and -24x to get -4x.
-4x=-40-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
-4x=-48
Subtract 8 from -40 to get -48.
x=\frac{-48}{-4}
Divide both sides by -4.
x=12
Divide -48 by -4 to get 12.
