Answer:
Simplifying
Ax + 3 = 8x + b
Reorder the terms:
3 + xA = 8x + b
Reorder the terms:
3 + xA = b + 8x
Solving
3 + xA = b + 8x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-8x' to each side of the equation.
3 + -8x + xA = b + 8x + -8x
Combine like terms: 8x + -8x = 0
3 + -8x + xA = b + 0
3 + -8x + xA = b
Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -8x + -3 + xA = -3 + b
Reorder the terms:
3 + -3 + -8x + xA = -3 + b
Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -8x + xA = -3 + b
-8x + xA = -3 + b
Reorder the terms:
3 + -1b + -8x + xA = -3 + b + 3 + -1b
Reorder the terms:
3 + -1b + -8x + xA = -3 + 3 + b + -1b
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
3 + -1b + -8x + xA = 0 + b + -1b
3 + -1b + -8x + xA = b + -1b
Combine like terms: b + -1b = 0
3 + -1b + -8x + xA = 0
The solution to this equation could not be determined.
