Question 66288
{{{x/6-x/8}}}=1. You need the lowest number that both 6 and 8 "will go into"
This is 24, so{{{x/6}}} is the same as{{{4x/24}}} and{{{x/8}}} is{{{3x/24}}}
Rewrite your equation
{{{4x/24-3x/24}}}=1 which can be simplified to:
{{{(4x-3x)/24}}}=1. Multiply both sides by 24 to give
4x-3x=24
x=24
Plug this into original equation to check
{{{24/6 - 24/8}}}=1
4-3=1
correct!
