Help solve! (5/8)x=3/4?

x=(3/4)(8/5)
x=24/20
x=6/5

5/8X + 3/4 = 5/8 5/8X = 5/8 - 3/4 Find a common denominator for the RHS 5/8X = 5/8 - 6/8 5/8X = -1/8 Divide both sides over 5/8 X = (-1/8)/(5/8) X = - 1/5 X = -0.2 Hope this helps.

5 x = 6

x = 6 / 5

(5/8)x = 3/4

x = 3/4 : 5/8
=3/4 x 8/5
= 24/20
= 6/5

(5/8)x = 3/4
5/8x = 3/4
(8/5)5/8x = (8/5)3/4
x = 6/5 or 1 1/5.

(5/8)x = 3/4
common denominator = 8
(5/8)x = 3/4 *2/2 'since 2/2 = 1 any number multiplied with 1 stays the same
(5/8)x = 6/8, now, multiply both parts with 8
(5/8)*8x = 6*8/8
5x = 6 ' now divide both parts with 5
x = 6/5

x=3/4*8/5=24/20=6/5=1.2

5/8(x) = 3/4 - Divide by 5/8
x = (3/4)/(5/8) = 6/5 = 1.2
x = 6/5 or 1.2

Hi,

If you want your Physics and Math questions answered you can go to "www.mathiverse.com/forum" I get my home work done there all the time. Also it is good to have discussions about math if you need help.

Sorry this is not a direct answer, hope this helps :)

(5/8)x = 3/4

x = 3/4 * 8/5

x = 6/5
