Question

x+1/8=-3/4 What is x?

Answer 1

-3/4-1/8

Answer 2

-1/8 from both sides

Answer 3

\[\frac{ x + 1 }{ 8 } = \frac{ -3 }{ 4 }\] (is this your equation?)

multiplying by 2 on r.h.s

\[\frac{ x + 1 }{ 8 } = \frac{ -6 }{ 8 }\]

adding \[\frac{ -6 }{ 8 }\]

\[\left( \frac{ x - 1 + 6 }{ 8 } \right) = 0\]

x = -5
