First, you move the x to the other side by adding x on both sides, getting
4.5/17 = 3/8 + x.
Then, you subtract 3/8 from both sides, getting 4.5/17 + 3/8 = x, and then you simplify the fraction.
The final answer would be x = 87/136, or 0.64.

Answer:

The value of the equation is
x=(-15)/(136) Or
x=-0.1102.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.


(4.5)/(17)- x =(3)/(8)

We need to solve the provided equation for x.

Add x to both side.


(4.5)/(17)- x+x=(3)/(8)+x


(4.5)/(17)=(3)/(8)+x

Subtract 3/8 from both sides.


(4.5)/(17)-(3)/(8)=x


x=(4.5)/(17)-(3)/(8)


x=(36-51)/(136)


x=(-15)/(136)

Or


x=-0.1102

Hence, the value of the equation is
x=(-15)/(136) Or
x=-0.1102.
