The actual oblem is 8+6x, for x =5. Is this solution showed correct?

The description is ambiguous... either solving "8+6x=5", which correctly solves to x=-(1/2), or the question is asking to solve "8+6x" when x is equal to 5, which should be entered as "8+6(5)" (replacing 'x' with '5') and that expression simplifies to 38. Both approaches are shown in the images below:
