Explanation:

took the quiz

Answer 2

`(1)/(4)x-(1)/(8)=(7)/(8)+(1)/(2)x\ \ \ \ |multiply\ both\ sides\ by\ 8\\\\8\cdot(1)/(4)x-8\cdot(1)/(8)=8\cdot(7)/(8)+8\cdot(1)/(2)x\\\\2x-1=7+4x\ \ \ |add\ 1\ to\ both\ sides\\\\2x=8+4x\ \ \ \ |subtract\ 4x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\-2x=8\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-2)\\\\\boxed{x=-4}`
