$x = 5/2$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $x$ :

$x/1 * (6x+5)/x = 8x$

Simplify: $6x + 5 = 8x$

Subtract $6x$ from both sides of the equation:

$6x - 6x + 5 = 8x - 6x$

Simplify: $5 = 2x$

Isolate the $x$ by dividing both sides of the equation by $2$ :

$5/2 = (2x)/2$

Simplify and rearrange:

$x = 5/2$
