The answer is x=4. 
set the equations up: 8x-5=6x-3
Subtract 6x from one side and then the other side 2x-5=3 
Add 5 from one side and then the other 2x=8
Divide 2 on each side which gets you x=4
        
                    
             
        
        
        
So in every 5 people, theres 1 left and 4 right. 
so therefore there is 25 right handed people and 5 left handed people
