x + (5)/(8) =6\\ \\ x + (5)/(8) = (48)/(8)\\ \\ x = (48)/(8)-(5)/(8)\\ \\ x = (43)/(8)

This can't be simplified any further, therefore this is your final answer.

Isolate the x. Subtract 5/8 from both sides

x + 5/8 (-5/8) = 6 (-5/8)

x = 5 8/8 - 5/8

Simplify

x = 5 3/8 is your answer

hope this helps
