So, you have 3/4x + 5/8 = 4x. We can do this in two ways. Since fractions are harder to deal with, we can turn the fractions into whole numbers.
First we need to find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) between 4 and 8, which is 8. So multiply the 3/4x by 2/2, which gives you an equivalent fraction of 6/8x.
So now we have 6/8x + 5/8 = 4x. Now multiply both sides by 8, to get rid of the denominators of the fractions. That gives us 6x + 5 = 32x. Now use the subtraction property of equality to subtract 6x from both sides giving us 5 = 26x.
Now you can use the division property of equality to divide 26 on both sides, which gives us x = 5/26.
Hope this helps. :D Feel free to ask any other questions, and if you have any questions about my explanation, don't hesitate to ask.

Answer:
375 hamburgers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let h represent the number of hamburgers. Then h+63 is the number of cheeseburgers, and the combined total is ...
h +(h +63) = 813
2h = 813 -63 = 750
h = 750/2 = 375
375 hamburgers were sold on Saturday.

<em>Additional comment</em>
In a "sum and difference" problem like this, the smaller number is half the difference between the sum and the difference. h = (813 -63)/2 = 375. This generic solution applies to all "sum and difference" problems.
Answer:
580 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the area of the front and back. 20*10=200
There are 2 sides with 20*10 ( front and back) so we can multiply by 2. 200*2=400
Then, the sides. 3*20=60*2=120
Then, the top and bottom 10*3=30*2=60
400+120+60=580
