Question

If 3L = 5L - 8/5 THEN L = ?​

Answer 1

4/5.

Explanation:

3L = 5L - 8/5

8/5 = 5L - 3L

2L = 8/5

L = 8/10 = 4/5.

Answer 2

`L=(4)/(5)`

Explanation:

`3L=5L-(8)/(5)`

Add 8/5 to both sides:

`3L+(8)/(5)=5L`

Subtract 3L from both sides:

`(8)/(5)=2L`

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate L:

`L=(4)/(5)`
