Question

What is the solution to the equation 1/4x- 1/8=7/8+1/2x

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by multiplying both sides by 4.

$\frac{1}{4} x-\frac{1}{8} =\frac{7}{8} +\frac{1}{2} x\\x-\frac{1}{2} =\frac{7}{2}+2x$

Next, combine like terms.

$x-\frac{1}{2} =\frac{7}{2}+2x\\-\frac{1}{2} =\frac{7}{2} +x\\x=\frac{8}{2} \\x=4$
