Find the value of x by considering the above equation,Transposing (3/8)x to RHS and it becomes -(3/8)x.
= (2/3)x – (3/8)x = (7/12)
= [(16 – 9) / 24]x = (7/12)
= (7/24) x = (7/12)
Multiplying both side by (24/7),
= (7/24)x × (24/7) = (7/12) × (24/7)
= x = 2
By substituting 2 in the place of x in given equation, we get
LHS,
= (2/3)x
= (2/3) × (2)
= (4/3)
RHS,
= (3/8)x + (7/12)
= (3/8) × (2) + (7/12)
= (3/4) + (7/12)
= (9 + 7) / (12)
= (16/12)
= (4/3)
By comparing LHS and RHS
= (4/3) = (4/3)
∴ LHS = RHS
Hence, the result is verified.
