Answer:

first box (x) = 4

second box (y) = 3

3rd box (z) = 8

Explanation:

we can equate both side of equality and can solve separately.


(1)/(2) - (1)/(8) = (x)/(8) - (1)/(8)


taking \: \: lcm \: \: on \: \: both \: \: side \\ \\ (4 - 1)/(8) = (x - 1)/(8)

multiplying both side by 8

we get ,


4 - 1 = x - 1 \\ \\ 3 = x - 1 \\ \\ adding \: 1 \: \: on \: \: both \: \: side

3+1 = x-1+1

4 = x


(1)/(2) - (1)/(8) = (y)/(z)


(4 - 1)/(8) = (y)/(z)


(3)/(8) = (y)/(z)
