<PRE><B>Question 477223</B>
{{{(3x+1)/8+(4x+8)/7=6}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{56((3x+1)/cross(8)+(4x+8)/cross(7))=56(6)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{56}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{21x+7+32x+64=336}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{53x+71=336}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{53x=336-71}}} Subtract {{{71}}} from both sides.



{{{53x=265}}} Combine like terms on the right side.



{{{x=(265)/(53)}}} Divide both sides by {{{53}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.



{{{x=5}}} Reduce.
