Question 895292: Is the answer to the following equation x=6? 3/4 = 3/8x - 3/2
Also, can you help me label the steps taken to show the work? (steps: 1. Distribute, 2. Clear fractions, 3. combine like terms, 4. move variables to one side, 5. solve resulting one or two step equation, 6. check) By the way, check is always a mandatory step...
Please help me, I'm on a tight schedule!
My work:
3/4 = 3/8x - 3/2
3/4= 3/8x
+ 3/2
3/4-3/2= 1 5/12
1 5/12= 3/8x
------------
3/8 3/8
6=x

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3/4 = 3/8x
multiply by 8/1
8/1*3/4=3/8*8/1x
8/4*3=8/8*3x
2*3=3x
x=2
