2x-\frac{40}{8}+\frac{5}{8}-3x=10-82x
Convert -5 to fraction -\frac{40}{8}.
2x+\frac{-40+5}{8}-3x=10-82x
Since -\frac{40}{8} and \frac{5}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
2x-\frac{35}{8}-3x=10-82x
Add -40 and 5 to get -35.
-x-\frac{35}{8}=10-82x
Combine 2x and -3x to get -x.
-x-\frac{35}{8}+82x=10
Add 82x to both sides.
81x-\frac{35}{8}=10
Combine -x and 82x to get 81x.
81x=10+\frac{35}{8}
Add \frac{35}{8} to both sides.
81x=\frac{80}{8}+\frac{35}{8}
Convert 10 to fraction \frac{80}{8}.
81x=\frac{80+35}{8}
Since \frac{80}{8} and \frac{35}{8} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
81x=\frac{115}{8}
Add 80 and 35 to get 115.
x=\frac{\frac{115}{8}}{81}
Divide both sides by 81.
x=\frac{115}{8\times 81}
Express \frac{\frac{115}{8}}{81} as a single fraction.
x=\frac{115}{648}
Multiply 8 and 81 to get 648.
