1st interpretation:
2/12x - 3/12 = 8/12 multiply all items by 12
2x - 3 = 8
2x = 11
x = 11/2 or 5 1/2
Answer: x = 5 1/2 or 5.5
Proof:
2/12(5.5) - 3/12 = 8/12
1/6(5.5) - 3/12 = 2/3
5.5/6 - 3/12 = 2/3
11/12 - 3/12 = 2/3
2nd interpretation:
(2/[12x - 3])/12 = 8/12
2/(12x - 3) = 8
1/(12x - 3) = 4
48x - 12 = 1
48x = 13
x = 13/48
Answer: x = 13/48
Proof:
(2/[12[13/48] - 3])/12 = 8/12
(2/[13/4 - 12/4])/12 = 2/3
(2/[1/4])/12 = 2/3
(2[4])/12 = 2/3
8/12 = 2/3
2/3 = 2/3
