Solve (4x-3)/3 =(x 8)/2

Evaluate

\frac{4 x - 3}{3} = \frac{x \times 8}{2}

Simplify

More Steps

\frac{4 x - 3}{3} = 4 x

Cross multiply

4 x - 3 = 3 \times 4 x

Simplify the equation

4 x - 3 = 12 x

Move the variable to the left side

4 x - 3 - 12 x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

- 8 x - 3 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

- 8 x = 0 + 3

Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression

- 8 x = 3

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

8 x = - 3

Divide both sides

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

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{- 3}{8}

Solution

x = - \frac{3}{8}

Alternative Form

x = - 0.375
