What's 3/4x=1/8? because i don't know

To get the answer, you have to isolate x by multiplying by the reciprocal of the coefficient:

(3)/(4)x= (1)/(8) \\ (4)/(3) ( (3)/(4)x)= ((1)/(8) )( (4)/(3)) \\ (12)/(12)x= (4)/(24) \\ x = (1)/(6)

The answer is x = 1/6.

Hope this helps!

ok so it could be 2 things
(3/4)x=1/8 or
3/(4x)=1/8

if it is (3/4)x=1/8, go to AAAAAAAAAAAAA

if it is 3/(4x)=1/8 go to BBBBBBBBBBBB


AAAAAAAAAAAAA
(3/4)x=1/8
multiply both sides by 4/3 to clear fraction ( since 3/4 times 4/3=12/12=1)
1x=4/24
x=1/6


BBBBBBBBB
3/(4x)=1/8
multiply both sides by 4x
3=(4x)/8
multiply both sides by 8
24=4x
divide bohs ides by 4
6=x




if it is (3/4)x=1/8, then x=1/6
if it is 3/(4x)=1/8, then x=6
