Answer
x = -2
Work Step by Step
$\frac{7}{8}x + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}x$
Subtract $\frac{3}{4}x$ from both sides:
$\frac{7}{8}x - \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{1}{4}$ = 0
$\frac{1}{8}x + \frac{1}{4}$ = 0
Subtract $\frac{1}{4}$ from both sides:
$\frac{1}{8}x = -\frac{1}{4}$
Multiply each side by the reciprocal of the coefficient, 8:
x = ($-\frac{1}{4}$)8
x = -2
