To solve this equation, we can proceed as follows:


6.75+(3)/(8)x=13(1)/(4)

1. Subtract 6.75 to both sides of the equation:


6.75-6.75+(3)/(8)x=13(1)/(4)-6.75\Rightarrow(3)/(8)x=13(1)/(4)-6.75

We can solve the right part of the equation using fractions as follows:


6.75=6+(3)/(4)

We also know that


13(1)/(4)=13+(1)/(4)

Then, we have:


(3)/(8)x=13+(1)/(4)-(6-(3)/(4))=13-6+(1)/(4)-(3)/(4)=7+(1-3)/(4)_{}
(3)/(8)x=7+(-(3)/(4))=7-(3)/(4)=(7\cdot4-3)/(4)=(28-3)/(4)_{}=(25)/(4)

Now, the equation is:


(3)/(8)x=(25)/(4)

We need to multiply by 8/3 to both sides to solve for x as follows:


(8)/(3)\cdot(3)/(8)x=(8)/(3)\cdot(25)/(4)\Rightarrow x=(8)/(4)\cdot(25)/(3)\Rightarrow x=2\cdot(25)/(3)\Rightarrow x=(50)/(3)=16.6666666\ldots=16(2)/(3)

Therefore, the value for x is equal to:


x=16(2)/(3)=(50)/(3)=16.6666666\ldots
