Question 265344
Hello, 
I'll make a deal with you. I'll do the first one and see if you can do the others. OK?
1) 1/2x+5/8=3/4x  This one is best done by getting rid of the fractions first. So multiply by 8. I'm assuming the equation is actually this: 1) 1/2(x)+5/8=3/4(x)
4x+5=6x Now subtract 4x from both sides to get:
5=2x Divide each side by 2 to result in:
x=5/2 There we go. 
The whole objective in algebra is to get the x on one side by itself.
