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
