Question

$x - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$
then x =​

Answer 1

Answer:

$x - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{1}{4}$

then x =

$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{5}{8}$

LCM= 16

$\frac{10 + 4}{16} = \frac{14}{16}$

$x = \frac{7}{8}$

Answer 2

Answer:

\begin{gathered}x - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{1}{4} \\ x - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{1}{4} \\ x - \frac{4 \times 5}{8 \times 4} = \frac{8 \times 1}{4 \times 8} \\ x - \frac{20}{32} = \frac{8}{32} \\ x = \frac{8 \times 32}{32 \times 20} \\ \end{gathered}
