Question

$$\frac{3x-8}{2x}=1$$

Solve for x

$x=8$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable $x$ cannot be equal to $0$ since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by $2x$.

$$3x-8=2x$$

Subtract $2x$ from both sides.

$$3x-8-2x=0$$

Combine $3x$ and $-2x$ to get $x$.

$$x-8=0$$

Add $8$ to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

$$x=8$$
