To solve for x in the equation x + 1/8x = 3/4, we first need to combine the terms on the left side of the equation:
x + 1/8x = (8/8)x + 1/8x = (8/8 + 1/8)x = 9/8x
So the equation becomes:
9/8x = 3/4
To solve for x, we need to isolate x by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 9/8, which is 8/9:
(8/9)(9/8)x = (8/9)(3/4)x = 3/4 * 8/9x = 24/36x = 2/3
Therefore, the solution to the equation x + 1/8x = 3/4 is x = 2/3.
To solve for x in the equation x + 1/8x = 3/4, we first need to combine the terms on the left side of the equation:
x + 1/8x = (8/8)x + 1/8x = (8/8 + 1/8)x = 9/8x
So the equation becomes:
9/8x = 3/4
To solve for x, we need to isolate x by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 9/8, which is 8/9:
(8/9)(9/8)x = (8/9)(3/4)
x = 3/4 * 8/9
x = 24/36
x = 2/3
Therefore, the solution to the equation x + 1/8x = 3/4 is x = 2/3.
