Question

Which steps can be used to solve 6/7x+1/2=7/8

Answer 1

Hello!

We can solve in just two or three steeps:

`(6)/(7) x+(1)/(2) =(7)/(8) \\\\\\(6)/(7) x =(7)/(8) - (1)/(2)\\`

There are a lot of ways to sum or difference fractions, but we can solve it using the easiest way.

First, we need to multiply the first fraction numerator by the second fraction denominator

Second, we need to multiply the first fraction denominator by the second fraction numerator

Third, we need to solve the operation depending if it's a sum or a difference

Fourth, we have to multiply the denominator of each fraction and it will be our new fraction denominator

Knowing that we have that

`(7)/(8) - (1)/(2)= (14-8)/(16) =(6)/(16) =(3)/(8)`

So,

`(6)/(7)x= (3)/(8)\\\\x=(3)/(8) *(7)/(6) =(21)/(48)= (7)/(16)`

Have a nice day!
