Solve x+4/10=7/8

$$\frac { x + 4 } { 10 } = \frac { 7 } { 8 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{19}{4} = 4\frac{3}{4} = 4.75$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides by 10.

$$x+4=\frac{7}{8}\times 10$$

Express \frac{7}{8}\times 10 as a single fraction.

$$x+4=\frac{7\times 10}{8}$$

Multiply 7 and 10 to get 70.

$$x+4=\frac{70}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{70}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x+4=\frac{35}{4}$$

Subtract 4 from both sides.

$$x=\frac{35}{4}-4$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{16}{4}.

$$x=\frac{35}{4}-\frac{16}{4}$$

Since \frac{35}{4} and \frac{16}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{35-16}{4}$$

Subtract 16 from 35 to get 19.

$$x=\frac{19}{4}$$
