Can you pls help me with this question thank you what does the x equal??

Answer 1

Write the mixed fraction on the right side as a proper fraction.

`\begin{gathered} 3(3)/(8)=(3\cdot8+3)/(8) \\ =(27)/(8) \end{gathered}`

The given equation becomes

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(8)x=(27)/(8) \\ 3x=27 \\ x=(27)/(3)=9 \end{gathered}`

The value of x is 9.
