Question

Solve for x. 3/8 (2x-3) = 1/4 - x

Answer 1

`x\text{ = }(11)/(14)`

Here, we want to solve for x

We start by multiplying through by 8

We have this as;

`\begin{gathered} 8*(3)/(8)(2x-3)\text{ = 8}*(1)/(4)-x*8 \\ \\ =\text{ 3(2x-3) = 2 - 8x} \\ 6x-9\text{ = 2-8x} \\ 6x+8x\text{ = 2 +9} \\ 14x\text{ = 11} \\ \text{x =}(11)/(14) \end{gathered}`
