Hi,

Work:


- (473)/(144) = - (5)/(9)x - 3 (7)/(8) \\ - (473)/(144) = - (5)/(9) x - (21)/(8)

Multiply both sides by 144.


- 473 - 80x - 378

Move X to left side and change its side.


80x = - 378 + 473

Calculate the sum


80x = 95

Divide both sides by 80.


x = (19)/(16)


+++ Results +++

Fraction form:


x = 1 (3)/(16)

Or decimal form:


1.1875

Hope this helps.
