3x+5-13x=8
Subtract 13x from both sides.
-10x+5=8
Combine 3x and -13x to get -10x.
-10x=8-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
-10x=3
Subtract 5 from 8 to get 3.
x=\frac{3}{-10}
Divide both sides by -10.
x=-\frac{3}{10}
Fraction \frac{3}{-10} can be rewritten as -\frac{3}{10} by extracting the negative sign.
