Solve 8x-1=2x 8/3

Evaluate

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

Multiply the terms

More Steps

8 x - 1 = \frac{16}{3} x

Move the variable to the left side

8 x - 1 - \frac{16}{3} x = 0

Subtract the terms

More Steps

\frac{8}{3} x - 1 = 0

Move the constant to the right side

\frac{8}{3} x = 0 + 1

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

\frac{8}{3} x = 1

Multiply by the reciprocal

\frac{8}{3} x \times \frac{3}{8} = 1 \times \frac{3}{8}

Multiply

x = 1 \times \frac{3}{8}

Solution

x = \frac{3}{8}

Alternative Form

x = 0.375
