Question

x+3/8=1/4

Answer 1

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

Do you want us to simplify?

Answer 2

apply cross-multiply method.

Answer 3

what does x equal

Answer 4

it will be 4(x+3)=8

after simplification,

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

Answer 5

\[\frac{ x + 3 }{ 8 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]
\[\frac{ 4(x + 3) }{ 8 } = \frac{ 8(1) }{ 4 }\]
\[ 4x + 12 = 8\]

Now solve like normal.

Answer 6

By cross-multiplying, we can cancel the denominators.
