Answer:
x = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
8 = [tex]\frac{5x-1}{3}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction
24 = 5x - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )
25 = 5x ( divide both sides by 5 )
multiply both sides of equation by 3
3 × 8 = (5x-1)/3 × 3 right side of equation will be simplified by 3 after multiplying
24 = 5x-1
24 + 1 = 5x
25 = 5x divide both sides by 5
