Question

3x-x/8=x-3 find the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = -\dfrac{8}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is-

$3x - \dfrac{x}{8} = x - 3$

$\dfrac{3x \times8 - x}{8} = x - 3$

$\dfrac{24x - x}{8} = x - 3$

23x = 8(x - 3)

23x = 8x - 24

23x - 8x = -24

15x = -24

$x = \dfrac{-24}{15}$

$x = -\dfrac{8}{5}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$3X - \frac{X}{8} = X - 8$

$\frac{24X - X}{8 } = x - 8$

$23x = 8x - 64$

$23x - 8x = - 64$

$15x = - 64$

$x = \frac{ - 64}{15}$
