Solve the equation and also verify your solution:2x/3 – 3x/8 = 7/12 |

Answer» We have, 2x/3 – 3x/8 = 7/12 By taking LCM for 3 and 8 is 24 (2x×8)/24 – (3x×3)/24 = 7/12 16x/24 – 9x/24 = 7/12 (16x-9x)/24 = 7/12 7x/24 = 7/12 By using cross-multiplication we get, 7x×12 = 7×24 x = (7×24)/(7×12) = 24/12 = 2 ∴ x = 2 |
