First, multiply both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction:
5 = 2/(8x - 6) * 3
Now, simplify:
5 = 6 / (8x - 6)
Multiply both sides by (8x - 6) to get rid of the fraction:
5(8x - 6) = 6
Expand and solve for x:
40x - 30 = 6
40x = 36
x = 36 / 40
x = 9 / 10
So, x = 9/10.
5 = 2/(8x - 6) * 3
Now, simplify:
5 = 6 / (8x - 6)
Multiply both sides by (8x - 6) to get rid of the fraction:
5(8x - 6) = 6
Expand and solve for x:
40x - 30 = 6
40x = 36
x = 36 / 40
x = 9 / 10
So, x = 9/10.
