Question 374775
{{{x/8-x/12=1/8}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{cross(24)^3(x/cross(8))-cross(24)^2(x/cross(12))=cross(24)^3(1/cross(8))}}} Multiply EVERY term by the LCD {{{24}}} to clear out all of the fractions.



{{{3x-2x=3}}} Multiply and simplify.



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