Question

Plz solve and explain step by step for me anyone​

Answer 1

First blank on top of 4 is x.

Second blank under 5x is 8.

Explanation:

`(3x)/(8)+(?)/(4)=(5x)/(*)`

We want to find the common denominator so we can combine the fractions on the left.

The common denominator we will go for is 8 since 4(2) is 8 and 8(1)=8.

So I'm going to multiply second fraction by 2/2 giving me:

`(3x)/(8)+(2?)/(8)=(5x)/(*)`

Now that the denominators are the same we can write the sum as one fraction:

`(3x+2?)/(8)=(5x)/(*)`

So 3x+2?=5x if ?=x since 3+2=5.

Now *=8 so both sides can have the same denominator.

Test:

`(3x)/(8)+(x)/(4)`

Multiply second fraction by 2/2:

`(3x)/(8)+(2x)/(8)`

`(3x+2x)/(8)`

`(5x)/(8)`
