Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to simplify the equation

8x + (-5) = 23 + 4x

-5 + 8x = 23 + 4x

Then solve for x, but before we do that we !!!must!!! move all terms that have x  to the left. Everything else would go to the right.

So we add -4x to both sides ..

-5+ 8x + (-4x) = 23 + 4x + (-4x)

-5 + 4x = 23 + 4x + (-4x)

-5 + 4x = 23 +0

-5 + 4x  = 23

Then add 5 to both sides of the equation:

-5 + 5 + 4x = 23 + 5

0 + 4x = 23 + 5

4x = 23 + 5

4x = 28

Then divide each side by 4:

x = 7

And there you have it. The answer is 7. Hope this helps! :)
