The answer you are looking for is x=12.
Solution/Explanation:
Writing out the equation first:
-28=2x+8-5x
Combine like terms
-28=2x-5x+8
Simplify
-28=-3x+8
Now, subtract 8 from both sides
-28-8=-3x+8-8
8-8 cancels out, since it equals 0.
-28-8=-3x+0
-28-8=-3x
Simplifying the left side
-36=-3x
Finally, dividing both sides by -3
-36/-3=-3x/-3
You will get 12=x, or x=12.
So, therefore, the final answer to this problem is simply x=12.
Hope this helped answer your question for you. Good day to you.
