$$-\frac{8}{5-2x} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} -\frac{8}{5-2x} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 5-2x }. \\[1 em]-(5-2x)\cdot\frac{8}{5-2x} &= (5-2x)\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]-8 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ -8 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
