Question

Solve for x 7x - 3/4 = 6x - 5/8

Answer 1

x = 1/8

Explanation:

7x - 3/4 = 6x - 5/8

7x - 3/4 + 3/4 = 6x - 5/8 + 3/4

7x = 6x + 1/8

7x - 6x = 6x + 1/8 - 6x

x = (6x - 6x) + 1/8

x = 1/8

Answer 2

Answer: x=0.125 or 1/8

Explanation:

`7x-(3)/(4)=6x-(5)/(8)`

add 3/4 on both sides

`7x-(3)/(4)+(3)/(4)=6x-(5)/(8)+(3)/(4)`

`7x=6x+(1)/(8)`

subtract 6x on both sides

`x=(1)/(8)`
