Question 664489
Starting with
{{{(x/2) - (2x)/16 = (3/8)}}}
Establish common denominators for x
{{{(x/2)*(8/8) - (2x)/16 = (3/8)}}}
Creating...
{{{(8x)/16 - (2x)/16 = (3/8)}}}
Multiply both sides by 16
{{{((8x)/cross(16))*(cross(16)) - ((2x)/cross(16))*cross(16) = (3/8)*(16)}}}
Creating...
8x - 2x = 6
Solve for x
6x = 6
Divide both sides by 6
{{{(6x)/6 = 6/6}}}
x = 1
