To solve for x, first we need to get rid of the fractions by multiplying every term by the least common multiple of the denominators, which is 24.
(24)(1/6x) - (24)0.82 = (24)(3/8x) - (24)1.374x - 19.68 = 9x - 32.88
Next, we want to isolate the x terms on one side of the equation. Let's subtract 4x from both sides:
-19.68 = 5x - 32.88
Now, let's add 32.88 to both sides:
32.88 - 19.68 = 5x13.2 = 5x
Finally, divide by 5 to solve for x:
x = 13.2 / 5x = 2.64
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 2.64.
