Question 336174
{{{(2x-3)/5=8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{2x-3=8*5}}} Multiply both sides by 5.



{{{2x-3=40}}} Multiply.



{{{2x=40+3}}} Add {{{3}}} to both sides.



{{{2x=43}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(43)/(2)}}} Divide both sides by {{{2}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



----------------------------------------------------------------------


Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=43/2}}}
