5x^{2}-5x=5x^{2}-\left(8-3x\right)
Use the distributive property to multiply 5x by x-1.
5x^{2}-5x=5x^{2}-8+3x
To find the opposite of 8-3x, find the opposite of each term.
5x^{2}-5x-5x^{2}=-8+3x
Subtract 5x^{2} from both sides.
-5x=-8+3x
Combine 5x^{2} and -5x^{2} to get 0.
-5x-3x=-8
Subtract 3x from both sides.
-8x=-8
Combine -5x and -3x to get -8x.
x=\frac{-8}{-8}
Divide both sides by -8.
x=1
Divide -8 by -8 to get 1.
