To solve this problem, we first have to combine the two fractions on the left side of the equation.  To do this, we must make a common denominator of 8.  Because 8/8 is equal to 1, we can substitute this value into the equation:

3x/8 - 8/8 = 5/8

Next, we can subtract the fractions on the left side of the equation to simplify.  Remember that if fractions have the same denominator, we simply subtract their numerators and keep the difference over the common denominator.

3x - 8/8 = 5/8

Since both sides of the equation have a denominator of 8, we can cancel out this denominator on both sides by multiplying both sides by 8.  This gives us:

3x - 8 = 5

Next, we should add 8 to both sides of the equation so that we can get all of the constants to the right side of the equation.

3x = 13

Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 to get the variable alone on the left side of the equation.

x = 13/3

Therefore, your answer is x = 13/3.

Hope this helps!

I took a picture of a math question.
Maurinko [17]
A) One tenth is equal to 0.1, so you do 830,000 x 0.1 to get 83,000 people.  You can also do 830,000 divided by 10 to get the same answer since it is one-tenth.

B) You can divide 5280 by 4 to find the answer of this one.

C) Divide by 4 again (because it is a fourth), but then multiply by three because the question asks for three-fourths.

D) A minute is 60 seconds, so 60 divided by 3 is 20.  Given that it asks for two-thirds, you then multiple 20 by 2 to get the final answer of 40 seconds.

E) There are 24 hours in a day, so divide 24 by 8.

Hopefully this helps "get the ball rolling" for you!
