The given equation is:
[tex] \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{5}{8} = 4x [/tex]
We are then asked to find x. 
First step: 
subtract (3/4)x on both sides. 
[tex] \frac{5}{8} = 4x -\frac{3}{4}x [/tex]
[tex] \frac{5}{8} = 3.25x [/tex]

Then divide 3.25 to both sides of the equation: 
[tex] \frac{5/8}{3.25} = x [/tex]

x = 5/26
