Answer 1

Explanation:

The main goal in any equation is to get the unknown variable all by itself. In this case that means moving the fraction of 7/8 over to the other side of the equals sign. On the left, the fraction is being subtracted; that means that to move it to the other side, we add it since adding is the opposite of subtracting.

`x-(7)/(8)+(7)/(8)=4+(7)/(8)`

On the left side, if you have 7/8 and then take that 7/8 away, it's gone completely. What we have now is

`x=4+(7)/(8)`

We need a common denominator so we can add 4 (which is 4/1) to 7/8. 8 is the common denominator.

`x=(4)/(1)((8)/(8))+(7)/(8)` and

`x=(32)/(8)+(7)/(8)` giving us
