  1/3+1/5+1/x=1/8

  (5+3/15)+1/x=1/8 ( Taking LCM of 5,3=15)

  (8/15)+1/x=1/8    (  After LCM add the final result)

  1/x=1/8-8/15       (  Taking 8/15  t0 right side then it changes to -8/15 )

  1/x=15-64/120     (   Taking LCM  8,15=120)

  1/x=-49/120        (    After LCM the answer we get is -49/120)

  x=-120/49           (    The value of x is -120/49)
