Can someone help me finish this problem I am stuck!

5/4x+1/8x=11/8+x

10/8x+1/8x=11/8+x
11/8x=11/8+x
19/8x=11/8

No. When you had the x on the right, it was correc.

but you have to SUBTRACT x from both sides, you subtracted on the right, but added on the left.

the problem with your lack of brackets is that we can't decide if you mean

(5/4)x.... or
5/(4x) ....

I am going to take it according to your typing, so I would multiply each term by 8 to give
10x + x = 11 + 8x
3x = 11
x = 11/3

If it is the other option then your line 11/8x=11/8+x
should say
11/(8x) = 11/(8+x)
cross-multiply, then divide by 11 to get
8x = 8+x
x = 8/7

(5/4)x+(1/8)x=11/8+x

(10/8)x+(1/8)x=11/8+x
(11/8)x=11/8+x
(3/8)x=11/8
Ok now I subtracted from both sides

How do I finish the problem out?

To solve the equation 5/4x + 1/8x = 11/8 + x, you need to combine like terms and isolate the variable x.

Let's start by finding a common denominator for the fractions on the left side of the equation. The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 8 is 8. We can multiply the first term, 5/4x, by 2/2 to make it have a denominator of 8. Similarly, we can multiply the second term, 1/8x, by 1 to keep its denominator as 8.

After making these adjustments, the equation becomes:
(10/8)x + (1/8)x = 11/8 + x

Next, we can combine the like terms on the left side of the equation. Add the coefficients of x:
[(10/8) + (1/8)]x = 11/8 + x
(11/8)x = 11/8 + x

To simplify further, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 8 to get rid of the denominators:
8 * [(11/8)x] = 8 * [(11/8) + x]
11x = 11 + 8x

Now, let's isolate the variable x by moving the terms with x to one side of the equation:
11x - 8x = 11
3x = 11

Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:
(3x)/3 = 11/3
x = 11/3

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 11/3.
