Question

What is the answer? X/8 - 4 = 15/16

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 39.5

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x}{8}-4=\dfrac{15}{16}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 8}\\\\8\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{x}{8\!\!\!\!\diagup_1}-(8)(4)=8\!\!\!\!\diagup^1\cdot\dfrac{15}{16\!\!\!\!\!\diagup_2}\\\\x-32=\dfrac{15}{2}\qquad\text{add 32 to both sides}\\\\x-32+32=7.5+32\\\\x=39.5$
