<PRE><B>Question 213753</B>
{{{5x/8+3/5=8}}}


Step 1.  Multiply by 40 to both sides to get rid of denominator


{{{40*(5x/8+3/5)=40*8}}}


{{{25x+24=320}}}


Step 2.  Subtract 24 from both sides of equation.


{{{25x+24-24=320-24}}}


{{{25x=296}}}


Step 3.  Divide by 25 to both sides of equation.


{{{25x/25=296/25}}}


{{{x=296/25}}}


I hope the above steps were helpful.
