Q. Solve for

\mathrm{x}

.

\newline

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

\newline

Answer:

Cross-multiply fractions: Cross-multiply to eliminate the fractions. $\newline$ Multiply both sides of the equation by $(x+8)(5x+3)$ to get rid of the denominators. $\newline$ $(8)(5x+3) = (3)(x+8)$
Multiply by common denominator: Distribute the numbers on both sides of the equation. $\newline$ $40x + 24 = 3x + 24$
Distribute numbers: Subtract $3x$ from both sides to start isolating $x$ . $\newline$ $40x + 24 - 3x = 3x + 24 - 3x$ $\newline$ $37x + 24 = 24$
Subtract to isolate $x$ : Subtract $24$ from both sides to further isolate $x$ . $37x + 24 - 24 = 24 - 24$ $37x = 0$
Divide to solve for x: Divide both sides by $37$ to solve for x. $\frac{37x}{37} = \frac{0}{37}$ $x = 0$
