Question

Solve the following game:

3 -2

-2 5​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, 3 over 4 x + 5 over 8 = 4x

(3/4)x + (5/8) = 4x

4x - (3/4)x = 5/8 --------> shifting all the terms involving x to one side of the equation

[ 4 - (3/4) ]x = 5/8

[ (16-3)/4 ]x = 5/8

[13/4]x = 5/8

x = 5/8 × [4/13]

x = [ 5 × 4 ] / [ 8 × 13]

x = 5/26

Thus, x = 5/26 is the solution of 3 over 4, x + 5 over 8 = 4x.
