Answer:
x = 23/16
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 1/16 = 3/2
Get a common denominator
x + 1/16 = 3/2 *8/8
x + 1/16 = 24/16
Subtract 1/16 from each side
x+1/16 -1/16 = 24/16 -1/16
[tex]x = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{1}{16} \\ [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{48 - 2}{32} \\ [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{46}{32} = \frac{23}{16} [/tex]
