Hello! :)

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{x=40}[/tex]

*The answer must have a POSITIVE sign!*

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you switch sides of an equation.

[tex]\frac{1}{5}x-3=5[/tex]

Then, you add by 3 from both sides of an equation.

[tex]\frac{1}{5}x-3+3=5+3[/tex]

Add by the number from left/right.

[tex]5+3=8[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{5}x=8[/tex]

Multiply by 5 both sides.

[tex]5*\frac{1}{5}x=8*5[/tex]

Multiply by the numbers.

8*5=40

x=40

Hope this helps!
