Solve 3x+5/8=3

$$3 x + \frac { 5 } { 8 } = 3$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{19}{24}\approx 0.791666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{5}{8} from both sides.

$$3x=3-\frac{5}{8}$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{24}{8}.

$$3x=\frac{24}{8}-\frac{5}{8}$$

Since \frac{24}{8} and \frac{5}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$3x=\frac{24-5}{8}$$

Subtract 5 from 24 to get 19.

$$3x=\frac{19}{8}$$

Divide both sides by 3.

$$x=\frac{\frac{19}{8}}{3}$$

Express \frac{\frac{19}{8}}{3} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{19}{8\times 3}$$

Multiply 8 and 3 to get 24.

$$x=\frac{19}{24}$$
