Question
$\frac{8}{\text{x}}=\frac{5}{\text{x}-1}$
✓
Answer
Given, $\frac{8}{\text{x}}=\frac{5}{\text{x}-1}8(x - 1) = 5x$
$8x - 8 = 5x$
$8x - 5x = 8$
$3x = 8$
$\frac{3\text{x}}{3}=\frac{8}{3}$ $\text{x}=\frac{8}{3}$
$8x - 8 = 5x$
$8x - 5x = 8$
$3x = 8$
$\frac{3\text{x}}{3}=\frac{8}{3}$ $\text{x}=\frac{8}{3}$
