It’s x+8 at the bottom but if you solve this please give me a step by step so I know how to solve it, thank you!!♥️

x=4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5/15=x/ x+8

Step 1: Cross-multiply.

5/15=x/ x+8

5*(x+8)=x*(15)

5x+40=15x

Step 2: Subtract 15x from both sides.

5x+40−15x=15x−15x

−10x+40=0

Step 3: Subtract 40 from both sides.

−10x+40−40=0−40

−10x=−40

Step 4: Divide both sides by -10.

−10x−10=−40−10

Then your answer will be x=4.

according to this law, when unemployment goes up by 1%, gdp drops by 2%. in the question, unemployment rate goes from 2% to 5%, meaning unemployment goes up by 3%, so the gdp drops by 6%. thus the effect is a drop in gdp by 6%.
