Question

PLEASE HELP!! Which steps can be used to solve 6/7x+1/2=7/8 for x? Check all that apply. A. Divide both sides of the equation by 7/8 B. subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation C. use the LCD of 2 to combine like terms D. divide both sides by 6/7 E. multiply both sides by 7/6

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct options are:

B. subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation.

D. Divide both sided by 6/7

E. multiply both sides by 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

$\frac{6}{7}x+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{8}$

Subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation.

$\frac{6}{7}x+\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{8}-\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{6}{7}x=\frac{3}{8}$

Multiply both the sides by 7/6.

$\frac{6}{7}x\times \frac{7}{6}=\frac{3}{8}\times \frac{7}{6}$

$x=\frac{7}{16}$

Now consider the provided options.

Hence, the correct options are:

B. subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation.

D. Divide both sided by 6/7

E. multiply both sides by 7/6

Answer 2

Answer:

B. first step

6/7x=7/8-1/2

c. second step

6/7x=7/8-4/8=3/8

d. and e are the same

x=3/8x7/6
