Answer:
[tex] \boxed{ \sf{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \frac{29}{5} }}}}}[/tex]
Option B is the correct option.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \sf{ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{x - 1}{8} }[/tex]
Apply cross product property
⇒[tex] \sf{ 5(x - 1) = 3 \times 8}[/tex]
Distribute 5 through the parentheses
⇒[tex] \sf{5x - 5 = 3 \times 8}[/tex]
Multiply the numbers
⇒[tex] \sf{5x - 5 = 24}[/tex]
Move 5 to right hand side and change it's sign
⇒[tex] \sf{5x = 24 + 5}[/tex]
Add the numbers
⇒[tex] \sf{5x = 29}[/tex]
Divide both sides of the equation by 5
⇒[tex] \sf{ \frac{5x}{5} = \frac{29}{5} }[/tex]
⇒[tex] \sf{x = \frac{29}{5} }[/tex]
Hope I helped!
Best regards!!
