Solve for x x+5.5+8=5x-13.5-4x

$x + 5.5 + 8 = 5 x - 13.5 - 4 x$

Step 1

Since $x$ is on the right side of the equation, switch the sides so it is on the left side of the equation.

$5 x - 13.5 - 4 x = x + 5.5 + 8$

Step 2

Subtract $4 x$ from $5 x$ .

$x - 13.5 = x + 5.5 + 8$

Step 3

Add $5.5$ and $8$ .

$x - 13.5 = x + 13.5$

Step 4

Move all terms containing $x$ to the left side of the equation.

Subtract $x$ from both sides of the equation.

$x - 13.5 - x = 13.5$

Combine the opposite terms in $x - 13.5 - x$ .

Subtract $x$ from $x$ .

$0 - 13.5 = 13.5$

Subtract $13.5$ from $0$ .

$- 13.5 = 13.5$

Step 5

Since $- 13.5 \neq 13.5$ , there are no solutions.
