8+x=15x
Add 3 and 5 to get 8.
8+x-15x=0
Subtract 15x from both sides.
8-14x=0
Combine x and -15x to get -14x.
-14x=-8
Subtract 8 from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.
x=\frac{-8}{-14}
Divide both sides by -14.
x=\frac{4}{7}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-8}{-14} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.
