Answer 1

Answer:

x = 3 / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry, can't take a pic but will explain briefly

Let the unknown number be x

According to the question, the equation is,

( x - 1 / 2 ) * 1 / 2 = 1 / 8

Now, the real solution,

( 2x / 2 - 1 / 2 ) * 1 / 2 = 1 / 8

( 2x - 1 / 2 ) * ( 1 / 2 ) = 1 / 8

( 2x - 1 ) / 2 = 2 / 8

( 2x - 1 ) / 2 = 1 / 4

2x - 1 = 2 / 4

2x = 1 + ( 1 / 2 )

LCM of 1 , 2 = 2

2x = ( 2 / 2 ) + ( 1 / 2 )

2x = 3 / 2

x = 3 / 2 * 2

x = 3 / 4
