5x%2F8%2B3%2F5=8

Step 1. Multiply by 40 to both sides to get rid of denominator

40%2A%285x%2F8%2B3%2F5%29=40%2A8

25x%2B24=320

Step 2. Subtract 24 from both sides of equation.

25x%2B24-24=320-24

25x=296

Step 3. Divide by 25 to both sides of equation.

25x%2F25=296%2F25

x=296%2F25

I hope the above steps were helpful.
