Answer:

x = 7/15

Explanation:

x + 6/4 + x - 3/5 = 5x - 4/8

x + x - 5x = -4/8 - 6/4 + 3/5

-3x = -2/4 - 6/4 + 3/5

-3x = -8/4 + 3/5

-3x = -2 + 3/5

-3x = -10/5 + 3/5

-3x = -7/5

x = (-7/5)/-3

x = -7/(5*-3)

x = -7/-15

x = 7/15

Check:

7/15 + 6/4 + 7/15 - 3/5 = 5(7/15) - 4/8

14/15 + 6/4 - 3/5 = 35/15 - 2/4

56/60 + 90/60 - 36/60 = 140/60 - 30/60

146/60 - 36/60 = 110/60
