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

x = - \frac{19}{24}

Decimal Notation

x = - 0.79166 \dots

Solution steps

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

Multiply both sides by

3 x + 3

5 = 8 (3 x + 3)

Switch sides

8 (3 x + 3) = 5

Divide both sides by

8

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

Move

3

to the right side

3 x = - \frac{19}{8}

Divide both sides by

3

x = - \frac{19}{24}

Verify Solutions

Find undefined (singularity) points:

x = - 1

Combine undefined points with solutions:

x = - \frac{19}{24}

P = \frac{R - C}{N}

\frac{x}{x - 3} = \frac{9}{x - 3}

0 = \frac{x ^{4} + 1}{2 x ^{5}}

\frac{250}{x + 250} = 0.35

\frac{6}{x + 1} = 0
