Question

1) Solve: 5x/8-3x/8 ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

5X + -8 = -3X + -8

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 5X = -3X + -8

Reorder the terms:

-8 + 5X = -8 + -3X

Add '8' to each side of the equation.

-8 + 8 + 5X = -8 + 8 + -3X

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0

0 + 5X = -8 + 8 + -3X

5X = -8 + 8 + -3X

Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0

5X = 0 + -3X

5X = -3X

Solving

5X = -3X

Solving for variable 'X'.

Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3X' to each side of the equation.

5X + 3X = -3X + 3X

Combine like terms: 5X + 3X = 8X

8X = -3X + 3X

Combine like terms: -3X + 3X = 0

8X = 0

Divide each side by '8'.

X = 0

Simplifying

X = 0
