x-\frac{3}{8}=\frac{5}{8} x-\frac{3}{8}=-\frac{5}{8}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{3}{8}-\left(-\frac{3}{8}\right)=\frac{5}{8}-\left(-\frac{3}{8}\right) x-\frac{3}{8}-\left(-\frac{3}{8}\right)=-\frac{5}{8}-\left(-\frac{3}{8}\right)
Add \frac{3}{8} to both sides of the equation.
x=\frac{5}{8}-\left(-\frac{3}{8}\right) x=-\frac{5}{8}-\left(-\frac{3}{8}\right)
Subtracting -\frac{3}{8} from itself leaves 0.
x=1
Subtract -\frac{3}{8} from \frac{5}{8} by finding a common denominator and subtracting the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=-\frac{1}{4}
Subtract -\frac{3}{8} from -\frac{5}{8} by finding a common denominator and subtracting the numerators. Then reduce the fraction to lowest terms if possible.
x=1 x=-\frac{1}{4}
The equation is now solved.
