1. 7/9 - 3/8 = (7·8 - 9·3)/(9·8) = (56 -27)/72 = 29/72

2. (5 4/5) - (2 1/4) = (5 - 2) + (4/5 - 1/4) = 3 + (4·4 -5·1)/(5·4) = 3 11/20

_____

(a/b) -(c/d) = (ad -bc)/(bd) . . . . a useful formula to remember when working problems like this. It is equivalent to multiplying the first fraction by d/d and the second one by b/b to get a common denominator of bd. Of course if the second fraction is added instead of subtracted, the sign changes in both places.

All you need to do to solve this is multiply 2 to both sides. This will cancel out 2 from the denominator and isolate x...

2(\frac{x}{2}) = -7 * 2

x = -14

Hope this helped!
