Solve 5/4 x-3=8- 1/8 x

Evaluate

\frac{5}{4} x - 3 = 8 - \frac{1}{8} x

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCM

(\frac{5}{4} x - 3) \times 8 = (8 - \frac{1}{8} x) \times 8

Calculate

More Steps

10 x - 24 = (8 - \frac{1}{8} x) \times 8

Calculate

More Steps

10 x - 24 = 64 - x

Move the expression to the left side

10 x - 24 + x = 64

Move the expression to the right side

10 x + x = 64 + 24

Add and subtract

More Steps

11 x = 64 + 24

Add and subtract

11 x = 88

Divide both sides

\frac{11 x}{11} = \frac{88}{11}

Divide the numbers

x = \frac{88}{11}
