Solve 1/4=1/8+x

$$\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } = \frac{ 1 }{ 8 } +x$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{8}=0.125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$\frac{1}{8}+x=\frac{1}{4}$$

Subtract \frac{1}{8} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8}$$

Least common multiple of 4 and 8 is 8. Convert \frac{1}{4} and \frac{1}{8} to fractions with denominator 8.

$$x=\frac{2}{8}-\frac{1}{8}$$

Since \frac{2}{8} and \frac{1}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{2-1}{8}$$

Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.

$$x=\frac{1}{8}$$
