Answer:
x = 4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Set up the equation
- [tex]5x = 3x + \frac{8}{5}[/tex]
2. Subtract 3x from both sides
- [tex]5x - 3x = 3x + \frac{8}{5} - 3x\\[/tex]
- [tex]2x = 8/5[/tex]
3. Divide both sides by 2.
- [tex]\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{8}{5} * \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
- [tex]x = \frac{8}{10}[/tex]
- [tex]x = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of x is 4/5.
