Answer:

2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about it. Adding 8 would make the equation: 3x+8=3x+8. That has infinite solutions.  if you made it 7, it would be 3x+8=3x+7, which is impossible.  

Therefore, it must be 2x, which would make the equation 3x+8=5x.

Let's check: 3x+8=5x

                     8=2x

                     4=x

All good.
