#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#
