To evaluate the expression $$\frac{-x + 9}{-x + 8}$$ at $$x = 5$$, follow these steps:

1. **Substitute $$x = 5$$ into the numerator and denominator:**

$$
   \text{Numerator} = -5 + 9 = 4
   $$
   
   $$
   \text{Denominator} = -5 + 8 = 3
   $$

2. **Form the fraction with the evaluated numerator and denominator:**

$$
   \frac{4}{3}
   $$

So, the expression simplifies to $$\frac{4}{3}$$.

$$\frac{4}{3}$$
$$\frac{4}{3}$$
