Can someone help me with this please? I am trying to find the solution for
5/4x + 1/8x = 5/8 + x

x = ?
Answered by DrBob222
Please use parentheses to reduce ambiguity in the equations.For example,
5/(4x) is not the same as (5/4)*x.

Get a common denomiatore for the x terms and collect them on one side of the equation.

5/4 x + 1/8 x - x = (10 +1 -8)x/8 = 3x/8. That gives you

3/8 x = 5/8

Then multiply both sides of the equation by 8/3

Would the answer be x=5/3?
