Question

I need to know what goes in the boxes. 20 points

Answer 1

Answer:

first box (x) = 4

second box (y) = 3

3rd box (z) = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

we can equate both side of equality and can solve separately.

$\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{x}{8} - \frac{1}{8}$

$taking \: \: lcm \: \: on \: \: both \: \: side \\ \\ \frac{4 - 1}{8} = \frac{x - 1}{8}$

multiplying both side by 8

we get ,

$4 - 1 = x - 1 \\ \\ 3 = x - 1 \\ \\ adding \: 1 \: \: on \: \: both \: \: side$

3+1 = x-1+1

4 = x

$\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{y}{z}$

$\frac{4 - 1}{8} = \frac{y}{z}$

$\frac{3}{8} = \frac{y}{z}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The first box is 4. The second is 3. The bottom box is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2=4/8.

4/8-1/8=3/8
