Answer <span>-7/24 - (-5/8) = 1/3</span>
The equation (form) is: 
The solution of the equation is: 
Explanation:
First, let's call the number we are going to solve for "x".
Then two thirds of this number can be written as:
Then "plus 4" means add 4 we get:
"is 7" means that the above expression is equal to 7 (as follows):
The solution of the above equation is:
1. AD/DB=CE/EB
given
2. AD/DB+1=CE/EB+1
Addition Property of Equality
3. AD+DB/DB=CE+EB/EB
using common denominators
4. AB = AD + DB
CB = CE + EB
segment addition
5. AB/DB=CB/EB
Substitution Property of Equality
6.ABC DBE
Reflexive Property of Congruence
7. ABC ~ DBE

O.99 is the answer to this problem
1/3 + 2/9 equals 3/9
3/9 is then simplified to 1/3 :)
