Answer:
[tex]\Large \boxed{x=-7}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]6/x+8/x+5=3[/tex]
Subtracting 5 from both sides.
[tex]6/x+8/x=-2[/tex]
Adding fractions since denominators are equal.
[tex]14/x=-2[/tex]
Multiplying x on both sides.
[tex]14=-2x[/tex]
Dividing both sides by -2.
[tex]-7=x[/tex]
Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
6/x + 8/x + 5 = 3
6/x + 8/x = -2
(6 + 8)/x = -2
14/x = -2
14 = -2x
x = -7
