Solve 7/12=17x^-1/8

$$\frac{ 7 }{ 12 } = 17 { x }^{ } - \frac{ 1 }{ 8 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{24}\approx 0.041666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Calculate x to the power of 1 and get x.

$$\frac{7}{12}=17x-\frac{1}{8}$$

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

$$17x-\frac{1}{8}=\frac{7}{12}$$

Add \frac{1}{8} to both sides.

$$17x=\frac{7}{12}+\frac{1}{8}$$

Add \frac{7}{12} and \frac{1}{8} to get \frac{17}{24}.

$$17x=\frac{17}{24}$$

Divide both sides by 17.

$$x=\frac{\frac{17}{24}}{17}$$

Express \frac{\frac{17}{24}}{17} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{17}{24\times 17}$$

Cancel out 17 in both numerator and denominator.

$$x=\frac{1}{24}$$
