\text{Hey there!}


\mathsf{Step^1}:
\text{First, you have to SIMPLIFY both sides of your equation!}


\mathsf{3x-(4)/(8)=x+(2)/(3)}


\rightarrow\mathsf{3x-(-1)/(2)=x+(2)/(3)}


\mathsf{Step^2}:


\text{SUBTRACT by the value of x on your sides!}


\mathsf{3x - (1)/(2)- x=x+(2)/(3)-x}


\mathsf{Step^(2.5)^}:
\uparrow\text{If you SOLVED that above CORRECTLY you should have:}
\mathsf{2x-(-1)/(2)=(2)/(3)}


\mathsf{Step^3}:


\text{ADD by }\mathsf{(1)/(2)}\text{ on your sides!}


\mathsf{2x-(1)/(2)+(1)/(2)=(2)/(3)+(1)/(2)}


\mathsf{Step^(3.5)}:
\uparrow\text{If you SOLVED that portion CORRECTLY, you should have:}
\mathsf{2x=(7)/(6)}


\mathsf{Step^4}:


\text{Last step of solving for x. DIVIDE both of your sides by 2}


\mathsf{(2x)/(2)=((7)/(6))/(2)}


\mathsf{Step^(4.5)}:
\uparrow\text{Once again if you solve the one above correctly, you should have x}


\boxed{\boxed{\mathsf{Thus\ your\ answer\ is: \boxed{\mathsf{x= (7)/(12)}}}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
