Solve 8x+1/2=8x+6/4+5

$$\frac { 8 x + 1 } { 2 } = \frac { 8 x + 6 } { 4 } + 5$$

Solve for x

$$x=3$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 4, the least common multiple of 2,4.

$$2\left(8x+1\right)=8x+6+20$$

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 8x+1.

$$16x+2=8x+6+20$$

Add 6 and 20 to get 26.

$$16x+2=8x+26$$

Subtract 8x from both sides.

$$16x+2-8x=26$$

Combine 16x and -8x to get 8x.

$$8x+2=26$$

Subtract 2 from both sides.

$$8x=26-2$$

Subtract 2 from 26 to get 24.

$$8x=24$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$x=\frac{24}{8}$$

Divide 24 by 8 to get 3.

$$x=3$$
