\frac{1}{12}+x=1\times 8
Multiply both sides by 8, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{8}.
\frac{1}{12}+x=8
Multiply 1 and 8 to get 8.
x=8-\frac{1}{12}
Subtract \frac{1}{12} from both sides.
x=\frac{96}{12}-\frac{1}{12}
Convert 8 to fraction \frac{96}{12}.
x=\frac{96-1}{12}
Since \frac{96}{12} and \frac{1}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
x=\frac{95}{12}
Subtract 1 from 96 to get 95.
