x = -8/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To make the equation easier to work with, our first step will be to make all of our fractions have a common denominator. Both 2 and 4 are factors of 8, so that will be our common denominator.

Old Equation: 1/4x - 1/8 = 7/8 + 1/2x

New Equation (with common denominators): 2/8x - 1/8 = 7/8 + 4/8x

Now, we're going to begin to isolate the x variable. First, we're going to subtract 2/8x from both sides, eliminating the first variable term on one side completely.

2/8x - 1/8 = 7/8 + 4/8x

-2/8x                    -2/8x

-1/8 = 7/8 + 2/8x

We're one step closer to our x variable being isolated. Next, we're going to move the constants to the left side of the equation. To do this, we must subtract by 7/8 on both sides.

-1/8 = 7/8 + 2/8x

- 7/8  -7/8

-1 = 2/8x

Our last step is to multiply 2/8x by its reciprocal in order to get the x coefficient to be 1. This means multiply both sides by 8/2.

(8/2)  -1 = 2/8x (8/2)

The 2/8 and 8/2 cancel out, and you're left with:

-8/2 = x

I hope this helps!

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
