To solve the equation $\frac{1}{4}x - \frac{3}{8}x = 2$, first find a common denominator for the fractions, which is 8. This gives $\frac{2}{8}x - \frac{3}{8}x = 2$, simplifying to $-\frac{1}{8}x = 2$. Multiplying both sides by -8 gives $x = -16$.

Solve the Equation 14x−38x=2\frac { 1 } { 4 } x - \frac { 3 } { 8 } x = 241​x−83​x=2
