There's this one problem and I got to

Would I divide by a and have everything on the right side be over a? Then how would i get the x from bx to the left side.

You just move everything with x to one side and anything without to the other.
Then you can group the x and solve.

ax - bx = -ab + 3a -8

(a-b) x = (3-b) a - 8

x = ((3-b) a - 8)/(a-b)

done
