Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "What plus 3/4 equals 6/8?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

x + 3/4 = 6/8

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by subtracting 3/4 on both sides like this:

x + 3/4 - 3/4 = 6/8 - 3/4

x + 3/4 - 3/4 leaves x and 6/8 - 3/4 is 0 which means we end up with x = 0. Therefore, the answer to "What plus 3/4 equals 6/8?" is as follows:
