Question

How do you solve this equation: 2/3x-5/8x=26

Answer 1

First, multiply all fractions by 2.
3x-10/8x=52
Then multiply all sides by -10.
-30x + 8x = -520
-22x = -520
Divide both sides by -22.
x=23.6363

Answer 2

The value of the provided equation is
`x=624`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`(2)/(3)-(5)/(8)x=26`

Solve the above equation as shown below.

`(16x-15x)/(24)=26`

`(x)/(24)=26`

Multiply both side by 24.

`(x)/(24)* 24=26* 24`

`x=624`

Hence, the value of the provided equation is
`x=624`.
