Question

Solve the following equations for x
3/4=3/8x-3/2

Answer 1

x = 6

Explanation:

Given

`(3)/(4)` =
`(3)/(8)` x -
`(3)/(2)`

Multiply through by 8 ( the LCM of 2, 4, 8 ) to clear the fractions

6 = 3x - 12 ( add 12 to both sides )

18 = 3x ( divide both sides by 3 )

6 = x , that is x = 6
