Question

Solve the following equations for x 3/4=3/8x-3/2

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{3}{4}$ = $\frac{3}{8}$ x - $\frac{3}{2}$

Multiply through by 8 ( the LCM of 2, 4, 8 ) to clear the fractions

6 = 3x - 12 ( add 12 to both sides )

18 = 3x ( divide both sides by 3 )

6 = x , that is x = 6
