Answer :
(2x+3/12)=2x/8
Simplified: 2x+1/4 = x/4
Put each term in 2x+1/4 over the common denominator 4: [tex]2x+1/4 = (8x)/4+1/4:[/tex]
[tex](8x)/4+1/4 = x/4[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 4:
[tex]8x+1 = x[/tex]
Subtract x from both sides:
[tex](8x-x)+1 = x-x [/tex]
[tex]8x-x = 7x: 7x+1 = x-x x-x = 0:[/tex]
[tex]7x+1 = 0 [/tex]
Subtract 1 from both sides:
[tex]7x+(1-1) = -1[/tex]
1-1 = 0: 7x = -1
Divide both sides of 7x = -1 by 7:
(7x)/7= (-1)/7
7/7= 1
Answer:[tex] x = (-1)/7[/tex]
