Question

how can you solve 13/16x + 5/4 = 2/8x + 4 ?

Answer 1

Is it the fraction times x or is x in the denominator (bottom)

\[\frac{13}{16}x+\frac{5}{4}=\frac{2}{8}x+4\]

Answer 5

Lol

Answer 6

x is the variable

Answer 7

I would start by multiplying in the equation by 16. This will get rid of the fractions

Answer 8

Like mertsj wrote it

Answer 9

typo...multiplying everything in the equation by 16

Answer 10

13/16x(16) + 5/4(16) = 2/8x(16) + 4(16)
13x + 20 = 4x + 64 -- subtract 20 from both sides
13x = 4x + 64 - 20 -- subtract 4x from both sides
13x - 4x = 64 - 20 -- combine like terms
9x = 44
x = 44/9

Answer 11

Answer 12
