Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{x-8}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x-5}{5}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )
5(x - 8) = 2(x - 5) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
5x - 40 = 2x - 10 ( subtract 2x from both sides )
3x - 40 = - 10 ( add 40 to both sides )
3x = 30 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 10
