8 (1+5x) + 5 = 13 + 5x

Answer:35x=0

Step-by-step explanation:

8+40x+5=13+5x

13+40x=13+5x

13+35x=13

35x=0

8 (1+5x) + 5 = 13 + 5x

multiply the bracket by 8

(8) (1) = 8

(8) (5x) = 40x

8+40x+5=13+5x

8+5+40x=13+5x

13+40x=13+5x

move 5x to the other side

sign changes from + 5x to - 5x

13+40x-5x=13+5x-5x (combine like terms)

13+35x=13

move 13 to the right side

13-13+35x=13-13

35x=0

divide both sides by 35 to get x by itself

35x/35=0/35

Answer:

x=0
