=> 14x -8+5-9x=1-3x\n=> 14x-9x+3x=1+8-5\n=> 8x=4\n=> x=4/8=1/2=0.5\n\nCHEERS!

4x = x - 12\nThe word "is" is always the equal sign.\nSubtract x from both sides\nyou get 3x = -12\ndivide by three on both sides\nThe answer is -4.\n\n\nhahahaha\n(at GaryPopkin)

i think you made an arithmetic error in the first step.\n\nstart with: |5x - 3| + 8 = 22\nthen subtract 8 from both sides, and you will get\n|5x-3| +8 - 8 = 22 - 8\n|5x-3|  = 14\nand not |5x - 3| = 24\n\nfrom there:\n|5x-3|  = 14\n5x-3 = 14 or 5x-3= -14\n5x-3+3=14+3  or 5x-3+3= -14+3\n5x = 17 or 5x = -11\nx = 17/5 or -11/5

Translating your question into algebra:\n\n8x + 3x = 9 + 12x\n11x = 9 + 12x\n11x - 11x - 9 = 9 - 9 - 11x + 12x\n-9 = x

From y=-3x-3 and y=x+5 you have -3x-3=x+5 so\n-3x-x=5+3\n-4x=8\nx=-2\nNow y=x+5=-2+5=3\nThe solution is (-2,3).
