x = 5/2

Explanation:

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
