Question

What is 3/8x + 15/2=18

Answer 1

Let's solve for x --

Isn't it always a little easier to solve a math problem with starting by rewriting the equation?

3/8x + 15/2 = 8

Step 1) Subtract 15/2 from both sides

3/8x + 15/2 - 15/2 = 8 - 15/2

3/8x = 1/2

Step 2) Multiply both sides by 8/3

(8/3) × (3/8x) = (8/3) × (1/2)

x = 4/3

FINAL ANSWER -

x = 4/3
