    Answer:195

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. x/3+5 = 2x/5-8 [ The x is numerator cause there's an invisible 1 which is the denominator. So now x is multiplied with the numerator of the fraction on both side]

    2. 5+8 = 2x/5-x/3 [ Now to keep it similar with number form we brought - 8 on right side. It was negative so when we change sides we get it into the opposite. Same happens on the other side for x]

    3. 13 = 3 (2x) - 5 (x) / 15 [ L. C. F of 3 & 5 is 15. Now divide the 15 with the denominator of the fractions and multiply the result with the numerator.

    4. 13 = (6x-5x) / 15

    5. 13 = x/15

    13*15 = 15 * (x/15) [ To vanish the 15 from the fraction we're gonna multiply 15. Remember we have to do it on both side]

    6. x=195

    That's it.
