Answer:

Explanation:

First, you need to set your expressions equal to each other.

h(x) = 8

h(x) = 3x-2/5

8 = 3x-2/5

Now, you need to add 2/5 to both sides. To balance the equation and isolate 'x'

8 = 3x-2/5

8+2/5 = 3x

Then, divide both sides by 3. Once you do this 'x' should be isolated.

8+2/5 = 3x

(8+2/5) / 3 = x

The final step is to simplify your answer. Personally, I just leave it as an improper fraction, but I put the decimal value as well.

(8+2/5) / 3 = x

(40/5 +2/5) / 3 = x

(42/5) / 3 = x

(42/5) * (1/3) = x

42/15 = x

14/5 = x

2.8 = x
