Answer:

\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{85}{24}=3\dfrac{13}{24}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the mixed number to the fraction:

3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{3\cdot8+1}{8}=\dfrac{25}{8}

METHOD 1:

x-3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\x-\dfrac{25}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\\\\\text{the common denominator is 24}\\\\x-\dfrac{25}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 24}\\\\24x-(3)(25)=(2)(5)\\\\24x-75=10\qquad\text{add 75 to both sides}\\\\24x=85\qquad\text{divide both sides by 24}\\\\\boxed{x=\dfrac{85}{24}}

METHOD 2:

x-3\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{5}{12}\qquad\text{add}\ 3\dfrac{1}{8}\ \text{to oboth sides}\\\\x=\dfrac{5}{12}+3\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\x=\dfrac{5\cdot2}{12\cdot2}+3\dfrac{1\cdot3}{8\cdot3}\\\\x=\dfrac{10}{24}+3\dfrac{3}{24}\\\\x=3\dfrac{10+3}{24}\\\\\boxed{x=3\dfrac{13}{24}}

-4(6x+3)= -12(x+ 10)
Lilit [14]

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(6x+3)= -12(x+10)

<u><em>Let's do the first part:</em></u>

-4(6x+3)

<em>**distribute**</em>

-4 x 6x = -24x; -4 x 3 = -12 ->>> -24x - 12

<u><em>Let's do the second part:</em></u>

-12(x+10)

<em>**distribute**</em>

-12 x x = -12x; -12 x 10 = -120 ->>> -12x -120

-24x -12 = -12x - 120

<em>**Move variable to the left-hand side and change its sign**</em>

-24x +12x -12 = -120

-12x - 12 = -120

-12x = 108

x = 108/-12

x=9
