You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8a/x - 2b = 3( 5 + z/x) solve for X
:
Assume the equation is:
%288a%29%2Fx - 2b = 3(5 + z%2Fx)
:
%288a%29%2Fx - 2b = 15 + %283z%29%2Fx
Multiply eq by x
8a - 2bx = 15x + 3z
8a - 3z = 15x + 2bx
Factor out x
8a - 3z = x(15+2b)
Divide both sides by (15+2b)
%28%288a-3z%29%29%2F%28%2815%2B2b%29%29 = x
or
x = %28%288a-3z%29%29%2F%28%2815%2B2b%29%29
