Question

How do you solve this?

Answer 1

x = 1/8.

Explanation:

3/8 - x = 1/4

Subtract 3/8 from both sides:

- x = 1/4 - 3/8

-x = 2/8 - 3/8

-x = -1/8

Divide both sides by -1:

x = 1/8.

Answer 2

x =
`(1)/(8)`

Explanation:

`(3)/(8)-x=[tex](1)/(4)`

⇒ Minus
`(3)/(8)` from both sides

- x =
`-(1)/(8)`

⇒ Multiply both sides by -1 to get rid of negative

x =
`(1)/(8)`
