Answer:


\huge\boxed{\sf x = 2 }

Explanation:


\sf (3x-1)/(5) = (x+1)/(3) \\\\Cross \ Multiplying \\\\3(3x-1) = 5(x+1)\\\\9x - 3 = 5x+5\\\\Combining \ like \ terms\\\\9x-5x = 5+3\\\\4x = 8 \\\\Dividing \ both \ sides \ by \ 4\\\\x = (8)/(4)\\\\\boxed{\sf x = 2 }\\\\\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
