Question

Solve. Show all your steps. 1/8x=1/2

Answer 1

    x = 4Rearrange:Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation : 
                     1/8*x-(1/2)=0 
Step by step solution :Step  1  :            1 Simplify   —            2Equation at the end of step  1  :   1         1  (— • x) -  —  = 0    8         2Step  2  :            1 Simplify   —            8Equation at the end of step  2  :   1         1  (— • x) -  —  = 0    8         2Step  3  :Calculating the Least Common Multiple : 3.1    Find the Least Common Multiple 
      The left denominator is :       8 
      The right denominator is :       2 
the answer is 4

Answer 2

So you would divide 1/8 on both sides so you would get 

1/8x divided by 1/8=1/2 divided by 1/8
and your answer will be

x=4
