Solve:

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{ \frac{3}{4} \: \: or \: \:0.75 }}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf{x - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{1}{8} }$

L.C.M of 1 and 8 = 8

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{x \times 8 - 5}{8} = \frac{1}{8} }}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{8x - 5}{8} = \frac{1}{8}}}$

Do cross multiplication

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{8(8x - 5) = 1 \times 8}}$

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{64x - 40 = 8}}$

Move 40 to right hand side and change its sign

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{64x = 8 + 40}}$

Add the numbers : 40 and 8

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{64x = 48}}$

Divide both sides by 64

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{64x}{64} = \frac{48}{64} }}$

Calculate

$\longrightarrow{ \sf{ \frac{3}{4} }}$

Hope I helped!

Answer 2

Steps to solve:

x - 5/8 = 1/8

~Add 5/8 to both sides

x = 6/8 or x = 3/4

Best of Luck!
