Hi

$128 into two parts

Let x and ($128-x) represent the first part and second part respectively

If I am understanding Your question properly****

(1/3)x = (1/5)(128 -x) -$8   |multiplying each side by 15 so as all denominators= 1

   5x = 3($128-x) - $8*15

   5x = 3*128 - 3x - $8*15

   8x = $264

    x = $33, the first part.  The second part = $95    ($128-$33)



CHECKING our Answer

 (1/3)$33 = (1/5)$95 -$8

      $11 = $19 - $8
