Solve 5/8x-12*3/2=37

$$\frac { 5 } { 8 } x - 12 \times \frac { 3 } { 2 } = 37$$

Solve for x

$$x=88$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Express 12\times \frac{3}{2} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{5}{8}x-\frac{12\times 3}{2}=37$$

Multiply 12 and 3 to get 36.

$$\frac{5}{8}x-\frac{36}{2}=37$$

Divide 36 by 2 to get 18.

$$\frac{5}{8}x-18=37$$

Add 18 to both sides.

$$\frac{5}{8}x=37+18$$

Add 37 and 18 to get 55.

$$\frac{5}{8}x=55$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{8}{5}, the reciprocal of \frac{5}{8}.

$$x=55\times \frac{8}{5}$$

Express 55\times \frac{8}{5} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{55\times 8}{5}$$

Multiply 55 and 8 to get 440.

$$x=\frac{440}{5}$$

Divide 440 by 5 to get 88.

$$x=88$$
