Question

Solve x/8+5/2+=3/2 what does x equal?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{8} + \frac{5}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$

by taking L.C.M

$\frac{2x + 40}{8} = \frac{3}{2}$

$cross \: the \: values$

$2(2x + 40) = 8 \times 3$

$4x + 80 = 24$

$4x = 24 - 80$

$4x = - 56$

$x = \frac{ - 56}{4}$

$x = - 14$
