Solve for x: 3/4x+5/8=4x

Mathematics

kompoz [17]3 years ago

So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.

First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.

So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x. 

Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.

Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.

What is the difference between 5 hundreds and 3 tens?​
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

5 tens and 3 hundreds = 50 + 300 = 350. That is basically asking what number goes 5-3-2. This is because 5 hundreds means 5 in the hundreds place, or 500. 3 tens is just saying 3 in the tens place, or 30.
