3/8+X=7/16

Answer 1

To solve for X, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

First, let's get rid of the fraction on the left side by multiplying both sides of the equation by the denominator, which is 8:

8 * (3/8) + 8 * X = 8 * (7/16)

This simplifies to:

3 + 8X = 7/2

Next, let's get rid of the fraction on the right side by multiplying both sides of the equation by 2:

2 * (3 + 8X) = 2 * (7/2)

This simplifies to:

6 + 16X = 7

Now, let's isolate X by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:

6 + 16X - 6 = 7 - 6

This simplifies to:

16X = 1

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 16 to solve for X:

X = 1/16
