Solve x+3/8=7/2

$$x + \frac { 3 } { 8 } = \frac { 7 } { 2 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{25}{8} = 3\frac{1}{8} = 3.125$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{3}{8} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{7}{2}-\frac{3}{8}$$

Least common multiple of 2 and 8 is 8. Convert \frac{7}{2} and \frac{3}{8} to fractions with denominator 8.

$$x=\frac{28}{8}-\frac{3}{8}$$

Since \frac{28}{8} and \frac{3}{8} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{28-3}{8}$$

Subtract 3 from 28 to get 25.

$$x=\frac{25}{8}$$
