Answer:
[tex] if \: \frac{x - 5}{8} = 2x - 1) \times 8 \\ x - 5 = 16x - 8 \\ 15x = 3 \\ x = \frac{15}{3} \\ \therefore \: x = 5 \\ if \: your \: quetion \: is \\ x - \frac{5}{8} = 2x - 1) \times 8 \\ 8x - 5 = 16x - 8 \\ 8x = 3 \\ x = \frac{3}{8} \\ try \: to \: use \: brackets \: next \: time[/tex]
