What is the value of x in the equation 8 + x = 3? −5 5 11 24

8 + x = 3
To solve for this, we need to get x by itself on one side of the equation.
Currently, we have 8 being added to x, so we need to perform the opposite order of equations to get rid of 8.

The opposite of +8 is -8, so subtract 8.
Remember, if you add, subract, multiply or divide by any new number, you must do it to both sides of the equation.

8 + x = 3
Subtract 8 from both sides.
8 - 8 = 0
3 - 8 = -5

We're now left with:
x = -5

Your answer is A.) -5.

I hope this helps!

The answer is -5. Have a good day

I’m vary good with science if you need with that
