Answer:


\large\boxed{x=(5)/(3)=1(2)/(3)}

Explanation:


8x+10-5x=15\qquad\text{subtract 10 from both sides}\\\\8x+10-10-5x=15-10\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\3x=5\qquad\text{divide both sides by 3}\\\\x=(5)/(3)

Answer:

Here you go! 8x+10-5x!

Just kidding. here you go. x=1.66

Explanation:

you can simplifiy the x´s by making it 3x by subtracting. You can also subract 10 from both sides. That leaves you with 3x=5.

x=1.66
