14/17, or 0.823529412

Explanation:

First, you multiply both sides by 4, giving you 3x+2=(4(8x-1))/5
Then, you multiply by 5, giving 5(3x+2)=4(8x-1)
Next, you multiply it out with the Distributive Property, and then you get 15x+10=32x-4
You add 4 to both sides and subtract 15x to get 14=17x
Then you divide by 17 to get your final answer, 0.823529412
