Solve 6x 7/7-3=5x-3/8

Evaluate

6 x \times \frac{7}{7} - 3 = 5 x - \frac{3}{8}

Simplify

More Steps

6 x - 3 = 5 x - \frac{3}{8}

Multiply both sides of the equation by LCM

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

Calculate

More Steps

48 x - 24 = (5 x - \frac{3}{8}) \times 8

Calculate

More Steps

48 x - 24 = 40 x - 3

Move the expression to the left side

48 x - 24 - 40 x = - 3

Move the expression to the right side

48 x - 40 x = - 3 + 24

Add and subtract

More Steps

8 x = - 3 + 24

Add and subtract

8 x = 21

Divide both sides

\frac{8 x}{8} = \frac{21}{8}

Solution

x = \frac{21}{8}

Alternative Form

x = 2.625
