Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation

(3x - 5)/2 =  8                         Multiply both sides by 2

2*(3x - 5)/2 = 8 * 2                Combine

3x - 5 = 16                             The 2s on the left cancel. Add 5 to each side

3x - 5 + 5 = 16+5                    Combine

3x = 21                                    Divide both sides by 3

3x/3 = 21/3

x = 7

Answer: x = 7
