Question

Tell me if this is correct,...


Solve for x: 7 over 8 minus 1 over x equals 3 over 4

x = 1

x = 2

x = 4

x = 8

I picked C

Answer 1

Answer 2

\[\frac{ 7 }{ 8 }-\frac{ 1 }{ x}=\frac{ 3 }{ 4}\]

Answer 3

let's check C to see if it's the correct answer

7/8 - 1/x = 3/4

7/8 - 1/4 = 3/4 .. plug in x = 4

7/8 - 2/8 = 3/4

(7 - 2)/8 = 3/4

5/8 = 3/4

So because the last equation is false, this means that x = 4 is NOT the solution

So C is NOT the answer

Answer 4

solve the equation and u l get the answer c is not the answer @dreamer05

Answer 5

Sorry about that.
But yea get rid of the fractions. So pick a common denominator
