Question

1 divided by 4 times a number plus 3 / 8 equals 7 / 8

Answer 1

start by writing the equation

`(1)/(4)x+(3)/(8)=(7)/(8)`

substract the 3/8 on both sides

`(1)/(4)x=(4)/(8)`

multiply by 4 on both sides

`x=(4)/(8)\cdot4`

simplify the right side

`\begin{gathered} x=(16)/(8) \\ x=2 \end{gathered}`
