ANSWER:

-4

Explanation:

We have the following equation:


(1)/(10)\left(x+8\right)-(1)/(15)\left(x-5\right)=1

We solve for x:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(10)\left(x+8\right)\cdot \:30-(1)/(15)\left(x-5\right)\cdot \:30=1\cdot \:30 \\ \\ 3\left(x+8\right)-2\left(x-5\right)=30 \\ \\ 3x+24-2x+10=30 \\ \\ x+34=30 \\ \\ x=30-34 \\ \\ x=-4 \end{gathered}

The value of x is equal to - 4
