+3L%2F5+=8
multiply with 5 on both sides
+%283L%2F5%29%2A5+=8%2A5
+3L+=40
divide with 3 on both sides
+3L%2F3+=+40%2F3
+L=+40%2F3
2) +2=+%282M%2F3%29+%2B8
MOVE 8 TO THE LEFT
+2-8+=+2M%2F3
-6=+2M%2F3
MULTIPLY WITH 3 ON BOTH SIDES
+-6%2A3+=+%282M%2F3%29%2A3
-18+=+2M
DIVIDE WITH 2 ON BOTH SIDES
-18%2F2+=2M%2F2
-9+=+M
M=-9
