y=1/2x + 3/4

6x+8y=10
Only looking for X
Step's in what i did

1.~6x+8(1/2x + 3/4)=10
2.6x+ 8/2x + 24/4 =10
3.(2)(6x+ 8/2x + 24/4 =10)(2)
4.12x+8x+ 24/4=20
5.20x+6=20
6. 20x=14
7. x= 14/20
I don't know what i did wrong. Please help me and if you don't understand the problem I will show a link so you can understand better.

You muddled up your Step #3 you did not have to times (2) in front. To clarify here is what I did:

6x + 8(1/2x + 3/4) = 10
6x + 8/2x + 24/4 = 10
6x + 4x + 6 = 10
10x = 4
x = 2/5
