  1. if this is your homework dont ask us


  2. the answer is 1/2

  3. I get:

    5/4x+1/8x = 3/8+x <===find common denominator

    10/8x+1/8x = 3/8 +8/8x <====combine x's

    (10+1-8)/8x = 3/8

    3/8x = 3/8

    x = 1

  4. well first these are fractions so you want to make all of them with like denomenators

    so get 5/4x to 10/8x by multiplying the top and bottom by 2

    then you have

    10/8x + 1/8x=3/8+x

    then you combine the left side because they are like.

    so now its

    11/8x=3/8 + x

    then you want all the x's on one side so you can solve it

    so subtract the x on the right side from both sides

    so now you have

    3/8x=3/8

    then you divide both sides by 3/8 and you get

    x=1

    so your answer is x=1

    good luck!

  5. Right, I think it is this

    5/4x + 1/8x = 1 3/8x

    10/8x + 1/8x = 11/8x

    1 3/8x = 3/8 + x

    Therefore I conclude that X is 1

  6. 5/4x+1/8x=3/8+x

    11/8x=3/8+x

    3/8x=3/8

    x=1
