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

Evaluate

\frac{3}{5} = (2 \times \frac{x}{3}) - 8

Multiply the terms

\frac{3}{5} = \frac{2 x}{3} - 8

Swap the sides of the equation

\frac{2 x}{3} - 8 = \frac{3}{5}

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

\frac{2 x}{3} = \frac{3}{5} + 8

Add the numbers

More Steps

\frac{2 x}{3} = \frac{43}{5}

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3

\frac{2 x}{3} \times 3 = \frac{43}{5} \times 3

Multiply the terms

2 x = \frac{43 \times 3}{5}

Divide the terms

2 x = \frac{129}{5}

Multiply by the reciprocal

2 x \times \frac{1}{2} = \frac{129}{5} \times \frac{1}{2}

Multiply

x = \frac{129}{5} \times \frac{1}{2}

Solution
