Answer:
x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] x = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
The LCM of 2, 4 and 8 is 8
Multiply through by 8 to clear the fractions
4x + 6x = 5, that is
10x = 5 ( divide both sides by 10 )
x = [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
