Solve -7/8 = -1/6 - 3/10x

Evaluate

- \frac{7}{8} = - \frac{1}{6} - \frac{3}{10} x

Swap the sides of the equation

- \frac{1}{6} - \frac{3}{10} x = - \frac{7}{8}

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- \frac{3}{10} x = - \frac{7}{8} + \frac{1}{6}

Add the numbers

More Steps

- \frac{3}{10} x = - \frac{17}{24}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

\frac{3}{10} x = \frac{17}{24}

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{3}{10} x \times \frac{10}{3} = \frac{17}{24} \times \frac{10}{3}

Multiply

x = \frac{17}{24} \times \frac{10}{3}
