______________________________

$\dashrightarrow \sf{ \frac{(x - 1)}{(2x + 3)} = \frac{5}{8}}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf{8( x- 1) = 5(2x + 3)}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf{8x - 8 = 10x + 15}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf{10 x - 8x = - 15 - 8 }$

$\dashrightarrow \sf{2x = - 23}$

$\dashrightarrow \boxed{\sf{x = - \frac{ 23}{2} }}$

$\bf\red{In \: mixed \: fraction\:form,}$

$\leadsto{\boxed{\bf{\pink{ - 11 \frac{1}{2}}}}}$

$\bf\red{In \:decimal\:form,}$

$\leadsto{\boxed{\bf{\pink{-11.5}}}}$
