Question

What is the value of x in the equation 1/2x - 3/4 = 3/8 - 5/8

Answer 1

The answer

x = 1

step by step

$\frac{1}{2} x - \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{8} - \frac{5}{8} \\ \frac{1}{2} x = \frac{3}{8} - \frac{5}{8} + \frac{3}{4} \\ \frac{1}{2} x = \frac{3}{8} - \frac{5}{8} + \frac{6}{8} \\ \frac{1}{2}x = \frac{4}{8} \\ \frac{1}{2} x = \frac{1}{2} \\ x = 1$
