Step-by-step explanation:
5x = 3x - 2 + 34
5x = 3x + 32
2x = 32
x = 16
plug back in
3( 16 ) - 2
48 - 2
46
So just add 1/8 and 2/8. add 1 plus 2 and the denominator (bottom number) stays the same so you get 3/8 then subtract 8/8 minus 3/8 so just 8 minus 3 is 5 and the denominator stays the same so you end up with 5/8 so 5/8 of the book remains unread
