Solution

To continue from where you left off, I'll first identify and analyze the steps you've taken so far from the image.

  1. Starting Point: x12=34÷18x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} \div \frac{1}{8}

  2. Step 1: You've simplified the right-hand side: x12=34×81x - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{8}{1} This multiplication leads to: x12=6x - \frac{1}{2} = 6

  3. Step 2: You added 12\frac{1}{2} to both sides: x=6+12x = 6 + \frac{1}{2} Which simplifies to: x=122+12=132x = \frac{12}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{13}{2}

So, the value of xx you found is: x=132x = \frac{13}{2}

Here are five related questions that might interest you:

  1. How do you solve linear equations involving fractions?
  2. Can you explain the process of multiplying fractions?
  3. How do you convert a mixed number into an improper fraction?
  4. What are the common methods for solving equations with variables on both sides?
  5. How can you check if your solution to a linear equation is correct?

Tip: Always check your final answer by substituting it back into the original equation to ensure it satisfies the equation.
