Answer 1

x = 3 3/8

Explanation:

I believe you would have to solve it with the reverse operation. If

x - (-2 7/8) = -1/2, than x has to be -1/2 more than -2 7/8. Because they are both negative numbers, the answer will be positive.

-2 7/8 + -1/2 = 3 3/8 x = 3 3/8

3 3/8 - (-2 7/8) = -1/2

Feel free to correct me. I hope you do well.
