(x+8)/3 =(3x-2)/8

\frac{x + 8}{3} = \frac{3 x - 2}{8}

x = 70

Solution steps

\frac{x + 8}{3} = \frac{3 x - 2}{8}

Apply fraction cross multiply: if

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}

then

a \cdot d = b \cdot c

(x + 8) \cdot 8 = 3 (3 x - 2)

Expand

(x + 8) \cdot 8 : 8 x + 64

Expand

3 (3 x - 2) : 9 x - 6

8 x + 64 = 9 x - 6

Move

64

to the right side

8 x = 9 x - 70

Move

9 x

to the left side

- x = - 70

Divide both sides by

- 1

x = 70

(2 t - 5) (5 t - 2) = 0

- \frac{5}{8} x = 20

(- 11)^{2}

(3 - 2 i)^{3}

(7 x + 1)^{2} = (3 x + 3)^{2} + (8 x - 4)^{2}
