Question

Directions: Solve for x. 1. 3/8x + 6 = 3/4x - 12

Answer 1

Answer:

The required value for $x = \frac{144}{5} = 28.8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here,the given expression is:

$\frac{3}{8} x + 6 = \frac{3}{4} x -12$

Now, solving for the value of x:

$\frac{3}{8}x - \frac{3}{4}x = -12 - 6$

or, $\frac{3x - 6x}{8} = -18$

or, $\frac{5x}{8} = 18$

or, $x = \frac{8}{5} \times 18 = 28.8$

Hence, the required value for $x = \frac{144}{5} = 28.8$
