Question 178487
{{{(5/4)x+(1/8)x=11/8+x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8((5/cross(4))x)+cross(8)((1/cross(8))x)=cross(8)(11/cross(8))+8(x)}}} Multiply EVERY term by the LCD {{{8}}} to clear the fractions.



{{{10x+x=11+8x}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{11x=11+8x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{11x-8x=11}}} Subtract {{{8x}}} from both sides.



{{{3x=11}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(11)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the answer is {{{x=11/3}}} which approximates to {{{x=3.667}}}.
