The equation:[tex]53 = 8x + 5[/tex]
Get 5 to cross over the = sign so it meets its kind which is 53 and then changes to minus(-) due to the equality sign.
[tex]53 - 5 = 8x⟹ 48 = 8x[/tex]
Now divide both sides of the equation by 8 to find the value of x
[tex] \frac{48 }{8} = \frac{8x}{8} [/tex]
[tex]6 = x[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]x = 6[/tex]
