Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Distribute 5/8 to x and -1/3 which will result you in 5/8x - 5/24
The equation now looks like this:
5/8x - 5/24= 5/12
Move -5/24 to the other side by adding 5/24 on both sides
5/8x - 5/24 + 5/24 = 5/12+5/24
(Multiply 2 and 5/12 on both the numerator and denominator which will result you to 10/12 add 5/24 which is 15/24)
Result:
5/8x=15/24
Multiply by 8/5 on both sides:
x=1
