Solve the given equation and check the solution.
-7/8x + 3/4 = 5/8

-7/8x+3/4=5/8
First you want to clear the fractions by multiplying by the lcd (in this case it's 8): -(7/8x)8+(3/4)8=(5/8)8 -7X+6=5
Combine like terms: -7x+6-6=5-6 -7x=-1
Get the unknown alone: -7x/-7=-1/-7 X=1/7

Check: -7/8(1/7)+3/4=5/8
-1/8+3/4=5/8
-1+6=5
5=5 ✔️

I hope this helps I can explain better if you'd like on specific steps :)

Number nine is f(x)= 40x : ) hoped i ya
