Answer:

x = - 19

Explanation:

Given


(5x-3)/(2) = 3x + 8

Multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction

5x - 3 = 6x + 16 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

- x - 3 = 16 ( add 3 to both sides )

- x = 19 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 19

Good morning,

Answer:

-19

Explanation:

(5x−3)/2=3x+8 ⇌ 5x−3 = 2×(3x+8) ⇌ 5x−3 = 6x+16 ⇌ 6x-5x = -3-16

⇌ x=-19.

:)
