Question

3/8+3/x=1 solve the following rational equation

Answer 1

x = 24/5

Explanation:

Subtract 3/8 from both sides.

3/x = 1 - 3/8

Simplify: 1 - 3/8 to 5/8.

3/x = 5/8

Multiply both sides by x.

3 = 5/8x

Simplify 5/8x to 5x/8.

3×8 = 5x

Multiply both sides by 8.

24 = 5x

Simplify: 3×8 to 24

24/5 = x

Divide both sides by 5.
