No, I apologize for the mistake. Let's solve it correctly.

To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

We start by multiplying both sides of the equation by 8:

(8/5)x = 65 * 8

Simplifying,

(8/5)x = 520

Next, we need to divide both sides of the equation by (8/5) to solve for x:

x = 520 / (8/5)

To divide by a fraction, we can multiply by its reciprocal:

x = 520 * (5/8)

Simplifying,

x = 325.

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 325.
