Question

Please solve this question x/2+x/4=1/8

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{2} {+} \frac{x}{4} {=} \frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{({4x~+~2x})}{8} {=} \frac{1}{8}$

$\frac{6x}{8} {=} \frac{1}{8}$

$\tt{6x} {=} \frac{1}{8} \times{8}$

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{black}{white}{Cancel~"8"~on~right~side}}$

$\tt{6x} {=} {1}$

$\tt{x} {=} \frac{1}{6}$ OR $\tt{x} {=} {6}$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{2} + \frac{x}{4} = \frac{1}{8} \\ \\ \frac{4x + 2x}{8} = \frac{1}{8} \\ \\ \frac{6x}{8} = \frac{1}{8} \\ \\ 6x = \frac{1}{8} \times 8 \\ \\ 6x = 1 \\ \\ x = \frac{1}{6} (or) \: x = 6$
