Question 797759
{{{(5/4)x+(1/8)x=11/8+x}}} Start with the given equation.



{{{8((5/cross(4))x+(1/cross(8))x)=8(11/cross(8)+x)}}} Multiply both sides by the LCD {{{8}}} to clear any fractions.



{{{10x+x=11+8x}}} Distribute and multiply.



{{{11x=11+8x}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{11x-8x=11}}} Subtract {{{8x}}} from both sides.



{{{3x=11}}} Combine like terms on the left side.



{{{x=(11)/(3)}}} Divide both sides by {{{3}}} to isolate {{{x}}}.

Answer:


So the solution is {{{x=11/3}}}
