Question 535789
{{{(5/8)x+(1/16)x = (3/16)+x}}} First, get all the fractions over the same (common) denominator. This should be 16.
{{{(5*2/(8*2))x+(1/16)x = (3/16)+x}}} Simplify.
{{{(10/16)x+(1/16)x = (3/16)+x}}} Add the two fractions on the left side.
{{{(11/16)x = (3/16)+x}}} Multiply through by 16 to clear the fractions.
{{{(11*cross(16)/cross(16))x = (3*cross(16)/cross(16))+16*x}}}
{{{11x = 3+16x}}} Subtract 11x from both sides.
{{{0 = 3+5x}}} Subtract 3 from both sides.
{{{-3 = 5x}}} Divide both sides by 5.
{{{-3/5 = x}}} or {{{x = -3/5}}}
