Question

Find x/y if x/y+5/8 =11/8​

Answer 1

Given equation is

$\frac{x}{y} +\frac{5}{8} =\frac{11}{8}$

Here we have to find the value of $\frac{x}{y}$

For this only $\frac{x}{y}$ term should be in LHS and remaining terms should be in RHS.

Transpose $\frac{5}{8}$ to RHS.

We get,

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{11}{8} -\frac{5}{8}$

As denominators are same we subtract the fractions directly.

We get,

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{3}{8}$

Therefore, the value of $\frac{x}{y}$ is $\frac{3}{8}$

Answer 2

• As per the data given in the question, we have to find the value of the expression.

          Given data:- $\frac{x}{y} +\frac{5}{8} =\frac{11}{8} .$.

          To find:- The value of the expression.

           Solution:-

• Here, we will use the below following steps to find a solution using the transposition method:

• Step 1:- we will Identify the variables and constants in the given simple equation.

• Step 2 -then we Simplify the equation in LHS and  RHS.

• Step 3:- Transpose or shift the term on the other side to solve the equation further simplest.

• Step 4:- Simplify the equation using arithmetic operation as required that is mentioned in rule 1 or rule 2 of linear equations.

• Step 5:- Then the result will be the solution for the given linear equation. By using the transposition method. we get,

               $\frac{x}{y} +\frac{5}{8} =\frac{11}{8} \\\frac{x}{y} =\frac{11}{8} -\frac{5}{8} \\\frac{x}{y} =\frac{3}{8}$

 Hence the value will be $\frac{3}{8} .$
