Answer:
x=0, yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
3x+8=5x+8
5x-3x+8=8
2x+8=8
2x=8-8
2x=0
x=0/2
x=0
Answer: yes
Explanation: To decide whether 0 is a solution for
this equation, we can simply plug a 0 in for x.
If the statement holds true, then 0 is a solution.
Plugging in 0 for x, we have 3(0) + 8 = 5(0) + 8.
Now since anything times 0 is 0, we have 8 = 8.
Since 8 = 8 is a true statement, 0 is a solution.
