Correct option:
29 over 5
Here we need to solve for x the following equation:
[tex]\frac{3}{5}=\frac{x-1}{8}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 40:
[tex]Multiply \ both \ sides \ by \ 40: \\ \\ 40\times(\frac{3}{5})=40\times (\frac{x-1}{8}) \\ \\ 24=5(x-1) \\ \\ \\ Distributive \ property \ on \ the \ right \ side: \\ \\ 24=5x-5 \\ \\ \\ Add \ 5 \ to \ both \ sides: \\ \\ 24+5=5x \\ \\ 5x=29 \\ \\ \\ Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 5: \\ \\ \boxed{x=\frac{29}{5}}[/tex]
Finally, the correct option is:
29 over 5
