To solve the equation, we can begin by multiplying both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 8/9, which is 9/8. This gives us:
(x + 1/2) = (32/3) * (9/8)
Next, we can simplify the right side of the equation:
(x +1/2) = (32 * 9) / (3 * 8)
(x + 1/2) = 288/24
(x + 1/2) = 12
To isolate x, we can subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation:
x = 12 - 1/2
x = 11.5
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 11.5.
