Solve the equation.

11 - (x+5) = 8x - 3

11 - (x+5) = 8x - 3

opening up the brackets,

11-x - 5 = 8x - 3

6-x = 8x-3

bringing the x over to the other side of the equation,

6 = 8x - 3 + x

6 = 9x-3

bringing the - 3 to the other side of the equation,

6+3 = 9x

9x = 9

x=1

1

Step-by-step explanation:

11-x-5=8x-3

6-x=8x-3

Combining similar terms

6+3=8x+x

9=9x

Dividing both sides by 9

1=x

OR

x=1
