Solve x+35/8=71/4

$$x + 3 \frac { 5 } { 8 } = 7 \frac { 1 } { 4 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{29}{8} = 3\frac{5}{8} = 3.625$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 8, the least common multiple of 8,4.

$$8x+3\times 8+5=2\left(7\times 4+1\right)$$

Multiply 3 and 8 to get 24.

$$8x+24+5=2\left(7\times 4+1\right)$$

Add 24 and 5 to get 29.

$$8x+29=2\left(7\times 4+1\right)$$

Multiply 7 and 4 to get 28.

$$8x+29=2\left(28+1\right)$$

Add 28 and 1 to get 29.

$$8x+29=2\times 29$$

Multiply 2 and 29 to get 58.

$$8x+29=58$$

Subtract 29 from both sides.

$$8x=58-29$$

Subtract 29 from 58 to get 29.

$$8x=29$$

Divide both sides by 8.

$$x=\frac{29}{8}$$
