11/12x - 1/4 =8
lets cross multiply ....
i.e, 11 X 4 - (12x) X 1 =8 (now this is the equation we need to solve to get x)
=> 44-12x = 8
=> -12x = 8-44
=> -12x = -36
=> x = -36/-12 = 3...
therefore x = 3 ...
you can also verify your answer.....by putting 3 in x 's place ....
i.e, 11X4 - 12 X 3 X1 =8
44 - 36 = 8
8=8
i.e, LHS=RHS ......
Hope it helps !!!
