3x/8 - 1 = 3 + x/6
Add 1 to each side
3x/8 = 4 + x/6
Multiply both sides by 24 (to get rid of the fractions)
24(3x/8) = (24)(4) + 24(x/6)
3(3x) = 96 + 4(x)
9x = 96 + 4x
Subtract 4x from each side
5x = 96
Divide both sides by 5
x = 96/5

3x/8 - 1 = 3 + x/6
First put all the x terms on one side\
3x/8 - 1 - x/6 = 3 + x/6 -x/6
3x/8 - 1 - x/6 = 3
Add one to both sides
3x/8 - x/6 = 4
Find the lowest common denominator of 8 and 6
8 = 2*2*2, 6 = 2*3
2*2*2*3 = 24
3x/8 = 9x/24
x/6 = 4x/24
9x/24 - 4x/24 = 5x/24 = 4
Multiply both sides by 24
5x = 96
Divide both sides by 5
x = 96/5

um, i visit take a pair of wager right here on the grounds which you relatively would desire to apply parenthesis i visit assume that it is the equation: 6/(x+a million) - 3/2 = 8/(3x+3) step a million: locate the consumer-friendly denominator denominators: (x+a million);2;(3x+3) on the grounds that 3x+3 = 3(x+a million), the sole factor not extra into the equation is two. to that end the denominator would desire to be 2*3*(X+a million) = 6x+6 step 2: simplify the equation 6(6)/6(x+a million) - 3(3x+3)/(3x+3)(2) = 8(2)/(3x+3)(2) (36 - (9x+9))/(6x+6) = sixteen/(6x+6) step 3: multiply the two facets with the aid of the denominator - yields right here equation: 27-9x = sixteen Step 4: isolate the variable and remedy 9x = 11 x = 11/9

3x/8 - 1 = 3 + x/6
(3x - 1)/8 = (18 + x)/6
6(3x - 1) = 8(18 + x)
18x - 6 = 144 + 8x
10x = 150
x = 15

if (3x / 8) -1=3+ (x / 6)
then
(3x-8)/8 = (18+x)/6
18x - 48 = 144 + 8x
10x = 192
x=19,2

(Answers pouring ????!!, let me try my hand)
(3x/8)-1 = 3+(x /6) [hope got ur que rite !!]
=> (3x /8) -(x/6)=3+1
=> (9x-4x)/24=4 [as L.C.M is 24]
=> 5x=24 * 4
=>x=96/5.

X both sides by 24
9x - 24 = 72 + 4x
5x = 96
x = 96 / 5
