A:
0k Let's solve your equation step-by-step. 5− 1       2  x= 5  8   x+2 Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation. 5−  1       2  x= 5  8   x+2 5+  −1         2  x= 5  8  x+2 −1  2  x+5= 5  8   x+2 Step 2: Subtract 5/8x from both sides. −1  2  x+5− 5  8  x= 5  8  x+2− 5  8  x −9  8  x+5=2 Step 3: Subtract 5 from both sides. −9 8    x+5−5=2−5 −9  8  x=−3 Step 4: Multiply both sides by 8/(-9). ( 8  −9  )*( −9  8  x)=( 8  −9  )*(−3)    0r (8/-9)*(-9/8x)=(8/-9)*(-3)8  3   Answer: x= 8    3
