Question

X+2/4 = 3/8 solve for x

Answer 1

X=-1/8=-0.125

Explanation:

Isolate x on one side of the equation.

x+2/4=3/8

2/4=1/2 (First, use the common factor of 2.)

x+1/2=3/8

x+1/2-1/2=3/8-1/2 (Then, subtract 1/2 from both sides.)

3/8-1/2 (Solve.)

3/8-1/2=-1/8

-1/8=-0.125

x=-1/8=-0.125

In conclusion, the final answer is x=-1/8=-0.125.
