a: \(\left(\dfrac{3}{4}x+2\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\cdot\dfrac{-2}{3}=\dfrac{1}{8}\)
=>\(\left(\dfrac{3}{4}x+\dfrac{5}{2}\right)=\dfrac{1}{8}:\dfrac{-2}{3}=\dfrac{-3}{16}\)
=>\(\dfrac{3}{4}x=-\dfrac{3}{16}-\dfrac{5}{2}=-\dfrac{3}{16}-\dfrac{40}{16}=-\dfrac{43}{16}\)
=>\(x=-\dfrac{43}{16}:\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{-43}{16}\cdot\dfrac{4}{3}=\dfrac{-43}{12}\)
b: \(\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot x-0,5x=0,75\)
=>\(x\left(\dfrac{1}{3}-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)=0,75\)
=>\(x\cdot\dfrac{-1}{6}=0,75\)
=>\(x=-0,75\cdot6=-4,5\)
