Answer:

[tex]x = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]5 - 8x = - 1[/tex]

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign:

[tex] - 8x = - 1 - 5[/tex]

Calculate

[tex] - 8x = - 6[/tex]

The difference sign (-) will be cancelled in both sides

[tex]8x = 6[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 8

[tex] \frac{8x}{8} = \frac{6}{8} [/tex]

Calculate

[tex]x = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
