Question

What is the value of x in the equation 3
X-
3
8
5
X2

Answer 1

x = 1

Explanation:

`(1)/(2) x - (3)/(4) = (3)/(8) - (5)/(8) x \\ \\ (1)/(2) x + (5)/(8) x = (3)/(8) + (3)/(4) \\ \\ (1 * 4)/(2 * 4) x + (5)/(8) x = (3)/(8) + (3 * 2)/(4 * 2) \\ \\ (4)/(8) x + (5)/(8) x = (3)/(8) + (6)/(8) \\ \\ (4 + 5)/(8) x = (3 + 6)/(8) \\ \\ (9)/(8) x = (9)/(8) \\ \\ x = (9)/(8) * (8)/(9) \\ \\ x = 1`
