Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{x}{6} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{1}{2} \\ or \: \frac{x}{6 } = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{5}{8} \\ or \: \frac{x}{6} = \frac{4 + 5}{8} \\ or \: \frac{x}{6} = \frac{9}{8} \\ or \: x \times 8 = 9 \times 6 \\ or \: x = \frac{9 \times 6}{8} \\ or \: x = \frac{27}{4} \\ \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: = 6.75$
