Question

Help me with this problem please

Answer 1

x=2

Explanation:

1. Multiply out.
`(3)/(8) x+3=(1)/(2)x+(5)/(2)+(1)/(4)`

2. add the fractions
`(3)/(8) x+3=(1)/(2)x+(11)/(4)`

3. Common denominator. Multiply both sides by 8.
`3x+24=4x+22`

4. Variables to the left.
`3x-4x=22-24`

5. combine like terms.
`-x=-2`

6. divided both sides by -1.
`x=2`
