Question

What is the answer to this equation

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = - \frac{494}{3}$ $= - 164\frac{2}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$75 + \frac{3}{8} x = 13\frac{1}{4}\\\\75 + \frac{3}{8} x = \frac{53}{4}\\\\\frac{3}{8}x = \frac{53}{ 4} - 75\\\\\frac{3}{8}x = \frac{53-300}{4}\\\\\frac{3}{8}x = - \frac{247}{4}\\\\x = -\frac{247 \times 8}{4 \times 3} \\\\x = -\frac{494}{3}$
