2. Two students describe how to solve the equation, x - 3/8= 1/2. Student 1 says to add 3/8 to both sides, while Student 2 says to subtract 3/8 from both sides. Which student has the correct description? Then solve for the variable.

it is 63.3 , If I am not mistaken

Step-by-step explanation:

you set up a proportion so two fractions basically

42.2 on top of 6 , then y on top of 9

bc both 9 and 6 are x's so you can put them both as denominators or numerators . Anywhere but they have to be in the same position.

so after you do your fractions (proportions) you cross-multiply- divide or also called the butterfly method.

42.2×9= 379.8/ 6 = 63.3
