vx+5=8-wx
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
vx=8-wx-5
Subtract 5 from both sides.
vx=3-wx
Subtract 5 from 8 to get 3.
xv=3-wx
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xv}{x}=\frac{3-wx}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
v=\frac{3-wx}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
v=-w+\frac{3}{x}
Divide 3-wx by x.
-wx=vx+5-8
Subtract 8 from both sides.
-wx=vx-3
Subtract 8 from 5 to get -3.
\left(-x\right)w=vx-3
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-x\right)w}{-x}=\frac{vx-3}{-x}
Divide both sides by -x.
w=\frac{vx-3}{-x}
Dividing by -x undoes the multiplication by -x.
w=-v+\frac{3}{x}
Divide vx-3 by -x.
