3 0

Just divide the 45 by the 4½

thus $\bf 45\div 4\frac{1}{2}\iff \cfrac{45}{4\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{45}{1}}{\frac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{\frac{45}{1}}{\frac{9}{2}}\implies \cfrac{45}{1}\times \cfrac{2}{9}\implies \cfrac{45\times 2}{1\times 9}$

8x + 6 - 2x = 34x

Simplify 8x +6 - 2x to 6x + 6:
6x + 6 = 34x

Subtract 6x from both sides:
6 = 34x- 6x

Simplify 34x - 6x to 28x:
6 = 28x

Divide both sides by 28:
$\frac{6}{28}$ = x

Simplify $\frac{6}{28}$ to $\frac{3}{14}$ :
$\frac{3}{14}$ = x

Now switch sides and the answer is:

x = $\frac{3}{14}$
