Question

`x - (3\\)/(8) = (13)/(2)`

Answer 1

55/8

Explanation:

Add 3/8 to both sides

X - 3/8 = 13/2

X = 13/2 + 3/8

make sure the denominators are equal so we can add. so multiply 4/4 by 13/2 and that equals 52/8

X = 52/8+3/8

X= 55/8

Answer 2

X - 3/8 = 13/2

Add 3/8 to both sides:

X = 13/2 + 3/8

Rewrite 13/2 to have 8 as the denominator:

13/2 x 4 = 52/8

X = 52/8 + 3/8

X = 55/8
