1 and 1/2x+3/4x=5/8
combine x's
1 and 1/2x=4/4x+2/4x=6/4x
6/4x+3/4x=5/8=9/4x
9/4x=5/8
multiply both sides by 8
18x=5
x=5/18
x=5/18 or aprox 0.277777777777
In order to answer this, we will first need to combine like terms on each side. on the left, you can leave them alone. however on the right, we will need to combine 2 and 11. this is 13. the right side becomes 13-16y. after that, we can add 20y to both sides. that equals 15=13+4y now we can subtract 13 from both sides. 2=4y. then we divide by 4 on both sides to find y. y=.5
