Answer 1

x = 5/16

Explanation:

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

Distribute the minus sign

3/4 - x-1/8 = 5/16

Multiply each side by 16 to get rid of the fractions

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

12 -16x -2 = 5

Combine like terms

10-16x =5

Subtract 10 from each side

10-10-16x = 5-10

-16x = -5

Divide each side by -16

-16x/-16 = -5/-16

x = 5/16
