Answer:

x = - $\frac{14}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{3}{4}$ (x + 5 $\frac{1}{2}$ ) = $\frac{5}{8}$

Multiply both sides by 8 to clear the fractions

6(x + 5 $\frac{1}{2}$ ) = 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

6x + 33 = 5 ( subtract 33 from both sides )

6x = - 28 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = $\frac{-28}{6}$ = - $\frac{14}{3}$
