Add up the right-hand terms and divide by 8. Answer: 10/3

Explanation:

Find a common denominator on the right-hand side. In this case, it is 3. This will leave you with

-4/3 + 84/3 = 80/3

Your equation will then be

8x = 80/3

Divide both sides by 8, leaving you with

x = 80/24

which reduces to 10/3.
