1.	Solve the equation (x/2) + (x/4) = (1/8). Check your result.
Answer» Now, find the value of x by considering the given equation,= (x/2) + (x/4) = (1/8) = ((2 + 1) / 4) = (1/8) = (3/4)x = (1/8) Multiplying both side by (4/3) = (3/4)x × (4/3) = (1/8) × (4/3) = x = (1/6) By substituting (1/6) in the place of x in given equation, we get LHS, = (3/4)x = (3/4) × (1/6) = (1/8) RHS, = (1/8) By comparing LHS and RHS = (1/8) = (1/8) ∴ LHS = RHS Hence, the result is verified.

Answer»

Now, find the value of x by considering the given equation,= (x/2) + (x/4) = (1/8)

= ((2 + 1) / 4) = (1/8)

= (3/4)x = (1/8)

Multiplying both side by (4/3)

= (3/4)x × (4/3) = (1/8) × (4/3)

= x = (1/6)

By substituting (1/6) in the place of x in given equation, we get

LHS,

= (3/4)x

= (3/4) × (1/6)

= (1/8)

RHS,

= (1/8)

By comparing LHS and RHS

= (1/8) = (1/8)

∴ LHS = RHS

Hence, the result is verified.
