    So when solving this you are going to have to solve the equation.

    Okay so first thing we need to do is simplify both sides of your equation so:

    3x-5 = 2x+8+x

    Simplifying process:

    3x + - 5 = 2x + 8 + x

    Combine Like Terms ⇒ 3x-5 = (2x+x) + (8)

    3x - 5 = 3x + 8

    3x - 5 = 3x + 8

    Second thing we are now going to do is s ubtract 3x from both sides so:

    3x - 5 - 3x = 3x + 8 - 3 x

    -5 = 8

    Final step is to add 5 to both sides:

    -5+5 = 8+5

    0 = 13

    The answer to your question is " There are no solutions"
