Solve for x. 3x+1/14=2x/8

Sagot :

apologiabiology
it depends if it is
1. 3x+(1/14)=(2x)/8 or
2. (3x+1)/14=(2x)/8

if it is 1

1.
3x+(1/14)=2x/8
simplify 2x/8
2x/8=x/4
3x+(1/14)=x/4
find least common multiple of 14 and 4
factors of 14=2 and 7
factors of 4 are 2 and 2 so LCM=2 times 2 times 7=28
multiply both sides by 28
84x+2=7x
subtract 7x from both sides
77x+2=0
subtract 2 from both sides
77x=-2
divide both sides by 77
x=-2/77


2.
(3x+1)/14=2x/8
simpify 2x/8
2x/8=x/4
(3x+1)/14=x/4
find least common multiple of 14 and 4
factors of 14=2 and 7
factors of 4 are 2 and 2 so LCM=2 times 2 times 7=28
multiply both sides by 28
(2)(3x+1)=7x
distribute
6x+2=7x
subtract 6x from both sides
2=x
