Answer:

x = 4

Explanation:

1/2x+2 1/8=1/4x+3 1/8

Let's convert everything to fractions with a common denominator of 8.

(1/2)x+2 1/8=1/4(x)+3 1/8

(4/8)x+(16/8 + 1/8) = (2/8)x + ((24/8 + 1/8)

(4/8)x+(17/8) = (2/8)x + ((25/8)

(4/8)x - (2/8)x = ((25/8) - (17/8))

x[(4/8) - (2/8)] = (25 - 17)/8

(2/8)x = 8/8

(1/4)x = 1

x = 4
