Question

4.5/17 - x = 3/8 solve

Answer 1

First, you move the x to the other side by adding x on both sides, getting
4.5/17 = 3/8 + x.
Then, you subtract 3/8 from both sides, getting 4.5/17 + 3/8 = x, and then you simplify the fraction.
The final answer would be x = 87/136, or 0.64.

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of the equation is $x=\frac{-15}{136}$ Or $x=-0.1102$.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

$\frac{4.5}{17}- x =\frac{3}{8}$

We need to solve the provided equation for x.

Add x to both side.  

$\frac{4.5}{17}- x+x=\frac{3}{8}+x$

$\frac{4.5}{17}=\frac{3}{8}+x$

Subtract 3/8 from both sides.

$\frac{4.5}{17}-\frac{3}{8}=x$

$x=\frac{4.5}{17}-\frac{3}{8}$

$x=\frac{36-51}{136}$

$x=\frac{-15}{136}$

Or

$x=-0.1102$

Hence, the value of the equation is $x=\frac{-15}{136}$ Or $x=-0.1102$.
