1/4x - 2 = 3/8
First, to start solving this, we can rearrange our fraction. Let's take 1/4x and change it to x/4. Why? Well, a variable can also be considered as the number 1.

Second, now we can continue solving for our variable (x). Let's add 2 to each side.

Third, let's simplify 3/8 + 2. (3/8 + 2 = 2.375 =19/8)

Fourth, continue trying to get the variable by itself. Multiply each side by 4.

Fifth, let's simplify 19/8 × 4. This is simple. Leave the denominator be and just do 19 × 4, which equals 76.

Sixth, our final step is to simplify our fraction. To do so, we will need to list the factors of the numerator and denominator and find the greatest common factor (GCF).
Factors of 76: 1, 2, 4, 19, 38, 76
Factors of 8: 1, 2, 4, 8
Since 4 is our first common factor, it is considered our GCF.
Seventh, now let's divide. Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF (4) to create our new simplified fraction.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume you are asking one of three things, so I will answer all of them.
if you are asking what is 1/2 of 312, then multiply 312 by 1/2. 312 is really just 312/1, so

we multiply fractions by multiplying straight across

if you were asking what part of 3 1/2 is 1/2 then we have to recognize what 3 1/2 is as an improper fraction. to do this, we convert 3 into halves. how many halves of pizza are there in 3 whole pizzas? 6. so we have 6 halves and one half, which is a total of 7 halves.

now, we do the same thing as the first problem

if you were asking what is half of 3.12, then we convert 1/2 to a decimal and multiply
The degree of a monomial is the sum of its exponents
4x^7y^3
exponents are 7 and 3
degree is : 7 + 3 = 10

first one is 6:9
second is 20:40
