Solve 2/3=x-3/8

$$\frac { 2 } { 3 } = x - \frac { 3 } { 8 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{25}{24} = 1\frac{1}{24} \approx 1.041666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Add \frac{3}{8} to both sides.

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

Least common multiple of 3 and 8 is 24. Convert \frac{2}{3} and \frac{3}{8} to fractions with denominator 24.

$$x=\frac{16}{24}+\frac{9}{24}$$

Since \frac{16}{24} and \frac{9}{24} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{16+9}{24}$$

Add 16 and 9 to get 25.

$$x=\frac{25}{24}$$
