Solve 8x+1/24-7x=5/6

$$8 x + \frac { 1 } { 24 } - 7 x = \frac { 5 } { 6 }$$

Solve for x

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

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine 8x and -7x to get x.

$$x+\frac{1}{24}=\frac{5}{6}$$

Subtract \frac{1}{24} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{24}$$

Least common multiple of 6 and 24 is 24. Convert \frac{5}{6} and \frac{1}{24} to fractions with denominator 24.

$$x=\frac{20}{24}-\frac{1}{24}$$

Since \frac{20}{24} and \frac{1}{24} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{20-1}{24}$$

Subtract 1 from 20 to get 19.

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