Answer:

Explanation:


(1)/(4)x-(1)/(8)=(7)/(8)+(1)/(2)\\\\(1)/(4)x=(7)/(8)+(1)/(2)+(1)/(8)\\\\(1)/(4)x=(7)/(8)+(1)/(8)+(1)/(2)\\\\(1)/(4)x=(7+1)/(8)+(1)/(2)\\\\(1)/(4)x=(8)/(8)+(1)/(2)\\\\(1)/(4)x=1+(1)/(2)\\\\(1)/(4)x=(2)/(2)+(1)/(2)\\\\(1)/(4)x=(2+1)/(2)\\\\(1)/(4)x=(3)/(2)\\\\x=(3)/(2)*(4)/(1)\\\\x=3*2\\\\x=6
