How can 1/5x-2 = 1/3x + 8 be set up as a system of equation?

5y − 5x = −10
3y − 3x = 24

5y − 5x = −10
3y + 3x = 24

5y + x = −10
3y + x = 24

5y − x = −10
3y − x = 24

1/5x-2 = 1/3x + 8 
You can set each equal to y and you will have two equations:
y = 1/5x - 2
y = 1/3x + 8
multiply the first equation throughout by 5 to get rid of the fraction.
multiply the first equation throughout by 3 to get rid of the fraction.

In each equation, keep the constant on the right hand side and bring everything else to the left hand side.
