Question

Please help me 2x-7/8+x=2x+7/2+5

Answer 1

`x = (75)/(8)`

Explanation:

So we have this:

`2x - (7)/(8) + x = 2x + (7)/(2) + 5`

First, let's combine like terms:

`3x - (7)/(8) = 2x + (7)/(2) + (10)/(2) \\3x - (7)/(8) = 2x + (17)/(2)`

Next, let's move variables and numbers each onto their own sides to get our answer:

`3x - (7)/(8) + (7)/(8)  = 2x + (17)/(2) + (7)/(8)\\ 3x = 2x + (75)/(8) \\3x - 2x = 2x + (75)/(8) - 2x\\\ x = (75)/(8)`
