Question 921356
Let x be "a number".


The transcription of the problem is {{{(x+5)/(7-2x)=8}}};


<b>Solve for x</b>.
This means, perform the necessary arithmetic to isolate x alone on one side of the equality symbol and computable constants on the other side, and compute the value of x.



If you do that correctly, you should find {{{highlight(x=3)}}}.
