Question

$$\frac{x}{2}+\frac{x}{8}=\frac{1}{8}$$

Solve for x

$x=\frac{1}{5}=0.2$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by $8$, the least common multiple of $2,8$.

$$4x+x=1$$

Combine $4x$ and $x$ to get $5x$.

$$5x=1$$

Divide both sides by $5$.

$$x=\frac{1}{5}$$
