Question

how would i solve:

Answer 1

Well, all the denominators in a equation must be the same.

Answer 2

(1/x)+(3/8)=(1/2)
(1/x)=(1/2)-(3/8)
1/x=(4-3)/8
1/x=1/8
x=8

Answer 3

not the answer, mind you.

Answer 4

Multiply both sides by \(2\), proportionally increase/decrease the ratio of fractions such that the denominators are equal, and then multiply both sides by \(8x\).

Answer 5

sigh...beaten to the punch line. May the best man win I guess.

Answer 6

I ahve no idea what noradetzky said, So I assume totally yes.

Answer 7

multiply everything by x so x will go to the top..

1 + 3x/8 = x/2
1 = x/2 - 3x/8
1 = 4x/8 - 3x/8
1 = x/8

cross multiply

x = 8
