Solve 1/2+3+8x=0

$$\frac { 1 } { 2 } + 3 + 8 x = 0$$

Solve for x

$$x=-\frac{7}{16}=-0.4375$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{6}{2}.

$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{6}{2}+8x=0$$

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{6}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+6}{2}+8x=0$$

Add 1 and 6 to get 7.

$$\frac{7}{2}+8x=0$$

Subtract \frac{7}{2} from both sides. Anything subtracted from zero gives its negation.

$$8x=-\frac{7}{2}$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$x=\frac{-\frac{7}{2}}{8}$$

Express \frac{-\frac{7}{2}}{8} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-7}{2\times 8}$$

Multiply 2 and 8 to get 16.

$$x=\frac{-7}{16}$$

Fraction \frac{-7}{16} can be rewritten as -\frac{7}{16} by extracting the negative sign.

$$x=-\frac{7}{16}$$
