Question

1/4x - 1/8x = 3 - 1/16x

Answer 1

16

Answer 2

\[\frac{1}{4} - \frac {1}{8} = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{16}=\frac{3}{16} \]

Answer 3

\[\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{16}=16\]

Answer 4

First group like terms on one side,
1/4x - 1/8x + 1/16x = 3
Then find the l.c.m of the L.H.S
l.c.m = 16x
( 4 - 2 + 1)/ 16x = 3
3/16x = 3
Multiply both sides by 16x to do away with the denominator
3 = 16x * 3
3 = 48x
Divide both sides by 48 to allow x to stand alone
x = 3 / 48
x = 1 / 16 or 0.0625

Answer 5

Thank you both

Answer 6

Got another....

Answer 7

When you fix the answer of x into the equation, it should be true.
e.g
1/4(0.0625) - 1/8(0.0625) = 3 - 1/16(0.0625)
the L.H.S should always be equal to the R.H.S

Answer 8

@chuk32chuk , check your answer again. i think you might be wrong

Answer 9

.25-.125=.125+.0625 (the 1/16) =.1875

Then we have .1875x=3
3/.1875 = 16
