1. 2x+1/8 - x+4/2=3?

1st interpretation:
([2x + 1]/8) - ([x + 4]/2) = 3
([2x + 1] - 4[x + 4])/8 = 3
2x + 1 - 4x - 16 = 24
2x = - 39
x = - 39/2

Answer: x = - 39/2 or - 19 1/2

Proof:
([2{- 39/2} + 1]/8) - ([- 39/2 + 4]/2) = 3
([- 39 + 1]/8) - ([- 39/2 + 8/2]/2) = 3
(- 19/4) - ([- 31/2]/2) = 3
- 19/4 - (- 31/4) = 3
- 19/4 + 31/4 = 3
12/4 = 3
3 = 3

2nd interpretation:
2x + 1/8 - x + 4/2 = 3
x + 1/8 + 2 = 3
8x + 1 + 16 = 24
8x + 17 = 24
8x = 7
x = 7/8

Answer: x = 7/8

Proof:
2(7/8) + 1/8 - (7/8) + 4/2 = 3
7/4 + 1/8 - 7/8 + 2 = 3
14/8 + 1/8 - 7/8 + 16/8 = 3
24/8 = 3
3 = 3

3rd interpretation:
([2x + 1]/[8 - x]) + 4/2 = 3
(2x + 1)/(8 - x) = 1
2x + 1 = 8 - x
3x = 7
x = 7/3 or 2 1/3

Proof:
([2{7/3} + 1]/[8 - {7/3}]) + 4/2 = 3
([14/3 + 3/3]/[24/3 - 7/3]) + 2 = 3
([17/3]/[17/3]) + 2 = 3
([17/3][3/17]) + 2 = 3
1 + 2 = 3

Looks as if question might be, NOT AS GIVEN , but :-

(2x + 1) / 8 - (x + 4) / 2 = 3
2x + 1 - 4x - 16 = 24
- 2x - 15 = 24
2x = - 39
x = - 39/2

(2x + 1)/8 - (x + 4)/2 = 3
8[(2x + 1)/8 - (x + 4)/2] = 8(3)
2x + 1 - 4(x + 4) = 24
2x + 1 - 4x - 16 = 24
2x - 4x = 24 - 1 + 16
-2x = 39
x = 39/-2
x = -39/2 (-19.5)

2x+1/8-x+4/2=3
2x+1/8-x+2=3
2x-x=3-2-1/8
2x-x=1-1/8
2x-x=7/8
move the 8 over to the other side
16x-8x=7
8x=7
x=7/8
or .875

2x+1/8 - x+4/2=3
2x+1-4x-16/8 =3
-2x-15 =24
2x =24-15
x=9/2

Rearrange with the 'x' terms together and constant terms together (2x-x+1/8+4/2=3)
2x-x=x and 1/8+4/2 = 1/8+16/8 = 17/8, leaving x+17/8 = 24/8
Subtracting 17/8 from both sides leaves x = 7/8

uhm, its summer hun. no need for that. im going into 8th so i couldnt help you anyways ;]

x= 7/8! i dun care bout the points jus tryin to help u out. plug 7/8 for x!
