Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step 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.

$x-\frac{7}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=4+\frac{7}{8}$

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

$x=4+\frac{7}{8}$

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

$x=\frac{4}{1}(\frac{8}{8})+\frac{7}{8}$ and

$x=\frac{32}{8}+\frac{7}{8}$ giving us
