Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
given the equation
[tex]\frac{2x}{3}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{3x}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex]
multiply through by 24 ( the LCM of 3,8 and 12 ) to clear the fractions
24 × [tex]\frac{2x}{3}[/tex] - 24 × [tex]\frac{3x}{8}[/tex] = 24 × [tex]\frac{7}{12}[/tex] ( simplify each term )
16x - 9x = 14
7x = 14 ( divide both sides by 7 )
x = 2
Answer:
x = 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x/3 - 3x/8 = 7/12
First eliminate the fractions by multiplying each term by the LCM of
3, 8 and 12 which is 24
24*2x/3 - 24*3x/8 = 24*7/12
---> 48x/3 - 72x/8 = 168/12
--> 16x - 9x = 14
--> 7x = 14
--> x = 14/2
x = 7.
