Question 265344
To begin solving these problems you need to bring the variable to the left side of the equation.
      1/2x + 5/8= 3/4x
           -5/8        -5/8       subtract 5/8 from each side
      1/2x = 3/4x - 5/8
     -3/4x        -3/4x  next subtract 3/4x from both sides

      -1/4x = 5/8     next multiply each side by -4
       x=5/2
 
   checking put 5/2 into equation and you will get 15/8 = 15/8 so this is true
