In this problem:

you would cross multiply the fractions.

Next is to multiply.

Now you want to solve for x by getting it by itself.
You can subtract the 8x from the right side (either 8x or 5x will work)

Now combine like terms.

Now, subtract the 5 to the other side of the equation.

Next, divide -3 into itself and the other side of the equation.

Now your answer:
x=7
Remember: positive X negative = negative
negative X negative = positive
