Step-by-step explanation

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]
