Answer 1

Answer:

X=56/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4x+2=5/8x-5

1/4x-5/8x=-5-2

(1/4-5/8)x=-7

-3/8x=-7

X=56/3

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{1}{4} x + 2 = \frac{5}{8} x - 5 \\ 2 + 5 = \frac{5}{8} x - \frac{1}{4} x \\ 7 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{5}{8} x - \frac{2}{8} x \\ 7 \times 8 \: \: \: \: \: = \frac{3x}{8} \times 8\\ \\ 56 = 3x \\ \frac{56}{3} = \frac{3x}{3} \\ 18.667= x$
