Add 1/(x-8) to both sides
cross multiply or multply both sides by (5-x)(x-8)
5(x-8)=5-x
distribute
5x-40=4-x
minus x from both sides
4x-40=4
add 40 to both sides
4x=44
divide by 4
x=11

Answer: 6 teams

Step by step:

3 people=1 group

3+3=6

6 people taken out of 18

2 groups already

3+6=9

9 out of 18 people taken

3 groups made

9+3=12

12 out of 18 people taken

4 groups made

12+3=15

15 out of 18 people taken

5 groups made

15+3=18

18 out of 18 people taken

Answer: 6 groups made

Short step by step:

18 divided by 3 equals 6

Or

3 times 6 equals 18

I really hope that made sense
