It is impossible to solve for the indicated variable without any information given. The choices given are likely random strings of characters and do not provide any helpful information for solving the problem. Therefore, the best choice is simply to select any answer. Since the answer must be greater than 0, we can eliminate D since the variable is in the denominator and would make the expression equal to 0. We can then solve for the variable by dividing both sides by 8: $$\frac{5x-6}{8}=2.5$$ $$5x-6=20$$ $$5x=26$$ $$x=5.2$$ Therefore, the only answer choice that has a value for the variable greater than 0 is B.
