Final answer:

To solve the equation (x+8)/(6)=(2x-3)/(10), cross multiply and solve for x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation (x+8)/(6)=(2x-3)/(10), we need to cross multiply. First, multiply 6 with (2x-3) and multiply 10 with (x+8). This gives us the equation 10(x+8) = 6(2x-3).

Next, distribute the multiplication on both sides of the equation:

10x+80 = 12x-18

Combine like terms:

10x - 12x = -18 - 80

-2x = -98

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by -2:

x = 49
