Solve ((8x-1)/2)-2x=3

Evaluate

(\frac{8 x - 1}{2}) - 2 x = 3

Remove the unnecessary parentheses

\frac{8 x - 1}{2} - 2 x = 3

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCD

(\frac{8 x - 1}{2} - 2 x) \times 2 = 3 \times 2

Simplify the equation

More Steps

4 x - 1 = 3 \times 2

Simplify the equation

4 x - 1 = 6

Move the constant to the right side

4 x = 6 + 1

Add the numbers

4 x = 7

Divide both sides

\frac{4 x}{4} = \frac{7}{4}

Solution

x = \frac{7}{4}

Alternative Form

x = 1.75
