Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

x + 8 = 3(x - 7) - 5

Step 2: Solve for x

  1. Distribute 3:                                                                                                      x + 8 = 3x - 21 - 5
  2. Combine like terms:                                                                                       x + 8 = 3x - 26
  3. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract x on both sides:                      8 = 2x - 26
  4. [Addition Property of Equality] Add 26 on both sides:                                34 = 2x
  5. [Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                                17 = x
  6. Rewrite/Rearrange:                                                                                        x = 17
