Answer 1

1) x=14

2) n=21/8=2.625

Explanation:

1)

So we have the equation:

`(x)/(16)-(1)/(2)=(3)/(8)`

First, let's remove all the fractions. Multiply both sides by the LCM of 16, 2, and 8, which is 16. So:

`16((x)/(16)-(1)/(2))=16((3)/(8))`

Distribute:

`16((x)/(16))-16((1)/(2))=16((3)/(8))`

Simplify:

`x-8=6`

Add 8 to both sides:

`x=14`

So, the value of x is 14.

2)

We have:

`(3n)/(7)-1=(1)/(8)`

Again, let's remove the fractions by multiplying both sides by the LCM of 7 and 8, which is 56. So:

`56((3n)/(7))-56(1)=56((1)/(8))`

Simplify:

`24n-56=7`

Add 56 to both sides:

`24n=63`

Divide both sides by 24:

`n=63/24`

Reduce:

`n=21/8=2.625`

And we're done!
