Step-by-step explanation:
do the Parentheses first so----
do Parentheses first which would then be 8x-3=10x+5
then put "10x in the middle of 8x and -3
so
![8x - 10x - 3 = 5](/tpl/images/1071/1300/57de9.png)
then 8x-10x which would equal -2x
then you would be left with
![- 2x = 5 + 3](/tpl/images/1071/1300/05b3b.png)
add the 5+3 ------>> -2x=8
(divide both sides)
