How do you solve #x+2/3=7/8#?

Answer 1

Kennedy Adams

Subtract both sides

#x+2/3 = 7/8# #x+2/3-2/3 = 7/8-2/3# #x = (21-16)/24# #x = 5/24#

To solve the equation (x + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{7}{8}), follow these steps:

Subtract (\frac{2}{3}) from both sides of the equation.
Simplify each side of the equation.
Solve for (x).

The solution is (x = \frac{7}{8} - \frac{2}{3}), which simplifies to (x = \frac{21}{24} - \frac{16}{24}). Simplifying further, (x = \frac{5}{24}).
