….."………….."……how do u do dis?

Answer 1

x = - 25

Explanation:

Given

3 -
`(x)/(5)` = 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

-
`(x)/(5)` = 5 ( multiply both sides by 5 to clear the fraction )

- x = 25 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 25

Answer 2

x = -25

Explanation:

`3 - (x)/(5) = 8`

`5(3 - (x)/(5) ) = 5 * 8`

`5 * 3 - 5 * (x)/(5) = 5 * 8`

`15 - 5 * (x)/(5) = 40`

`15 - x = 40`

`- x = 40 - 15`

`- x = 25`

`x = - 25`
