Solve for X in the Equation: 5x = 3/8

Question

Solve for X:

$5x=\frac{3}{8}$

00:00 Solve

00:03 We want to isolate the unknown X

00:10 If we have an unknown with coefficient A equal to fraction (C divided by B)

00:15 To isolate the unknown X, we divide by coefficient A

00:18 We will use this formula in our exercise

00:22 We'll arrange the equation so that one side will have only the unknown X

00:28 We'll calculate the denominator

00:33 And this is the solution to the question

$ax=\frac{c}{b}$

$x=\frac{c}{b\cdot a}$

$\frac{3}{40}$
