To solve this problem, we first have to combine the two fractions on the left side of the equation.  To do this, we must make a common denominator of 8.  Because 8/8 is equal to 1, we can substitute this value into the equation:

3x/8 - 8/8 = 5/8

Next, we can subtract the fractions on the left side of the equation to simplify.  Remember that if fractions have the same denominator, we simply subtract their numerators and keep the difference over the common denominator.

3x - 8/8 = 5/8

Since both sides of the equation have a denominator of 8, we can cancel out this denominator on both sides by multiplying both sides by 8.  This gives us:

3x - 8 = 5

Next, we should add 8 to both sides of the equation so that we can get all of the constants to the right side of the equation.

3x = 13

Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 to get the variable alone on the left side of the equation.

x = 13/3

Therefore, your answer is x = 13/3.

Hope this helps!

A team of scientist surveying a forest found that there were four oak trees for every 10 pine trees. If they counted 24 more pin
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

There are 16 Oak tree in the forest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: There are 4 Oak tree on every 10 pine trees.

           There are total 24 more pine tree than Oak tree.

 Using the ratio of trees to find the number of trees.

Lets assume there are total number of Oak tree be "x".

∴ Total number of Pine trees will be "x+24"

We know the ratio of Oak to Pine tree is 4:10 or \frac{4}{10}

⇒\frac{x}{x+24} = \frac{4}{10}

Multiplying both side by x+24

⇒ x= \frac{4(x+24)}{10}

Using distributive property of multiplication, distributing 4 with x and 24.

⇒ x= \frac{4x+96}{10}

Multiplying both side by 10

⇒ 10x= 4x+96

subtracting both side by 4x

⇒ 6x= 96

dividing both side by 6

⇒x= \frac{96}{6}

∴ x= 16

Hence, There are 16 Oak trees in the forest.
