To solve the equation 5/8(x - 1/2), the first step is to distribute the 5/8 to both terms inside the parentheses. This can be done by multiplying 5/8 with x and separately with -1/2.
So, the equation becomes (5/8)x - 5/16.
To reverse the multiplication, you need to divide both sides of the equation by 5/8. By dividing both sides by 5/8, you will cancel out the multiplication of (5/8)x, leaving you with x.
Therefore, both sides should be divided by 5/8.
So, the equation becomes (5/8)x - 5/16.
