3x85x8 solve for xSolution3x85x8 3x85x83x85x8 3x85x83x85x8 5

|3x+8|=5x-8, solve for x

|3x+8|=5x-8

=>3x+8=5x-8,3x+8=-(5x-8)

=>3x+8=5x-8,3x+8=-5x+8

=>5x-3x=8+8,3x+5x=8-8

=>2x=16,8x=0

=>x=8, x=0

verifying:

for x=8

|(3*8) +8|=(5*8)-8

=>|24+8|=40-8

=>|32|=32 ,true

for x=0

|(3*0) +8|=(5*0)-8

=>|0+8|=0-8

=>|8|=-8 ,false

so the only solution is x=8
