2s+5x+8s=3x
Add 8s to both sides.
10s+5x=3x
Combine 2s and 8s to get 10s.
10s=3x-5x
Subtract 5x from both sides.
10s=-2x
Combine 3x and -5x to get -2x.
\frac{10s}{10}=-\frac{2x}{10}
Divide both sides by 10.
s=-\frac{2x}{10}
Dividing by 10 undoes the multiplication by 10.
s=-\frac{x}{5}
Divide -2x by 10.
2s+5x-3x=-8s
Subtract 3x from both sides.
2s+2x=-8s
Combine 5x and -3x to get 2x.
2x=-8s-2s
Subtract 2s from both sides.
2x=-10s
Combine -8s and -2s to get -10s.
\frac{2x}{2}=-\frac{10s}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x=-\frac{10s}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x=-5s
Divide -10s by 2.
