Answer:

Therefore
x =(1)/(3)

Explanation:


(7)/(8) x+(3)/(4) x+(7)/(16) x-(1)/(16) =(5)/(8)


\Leftrightarrow (7)/(8) x+(3)/(4) x+(7)/(16) x =(5)/(8)+(1)/(16)


\Leftrightarrow (14x+12x+7x)/(16) =(10+1)/(16) [ L.C.M of 8,4,16 =16 and L.C.M of 8,16 =16]


\Leftrightarrow (33x)/(16) =(11)/(16)


\Leftrightarrow x =(11* 16)/(16* 33)


\Leftrightarrow x =(1)/(3)

Therefore
x =(1)/(3)
