$x = \frac{5}{2}$ $x = 5/2$

Multiply both sides of the equation by $x$ $x$ :

$\frac{x}{1} \cdot \frac{6 x + 5}{x} = 8 x$ $x/1 * (6x+5)/x = 8x$

Simplify: $6 x + 5 = 8 x$ $6x + 5 = 8x$

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

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

Simplify: $5 = 2 x$ $5 = 2x$

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

$\frac{5}{2} = \frac{2 x}{2}$ $5/2 = (2x)/2$

Simplify and rearrange:

$x = \frac{5}{2}$ $x = 5/2$
