Answer 2

Answer:

x = - $\frac{15}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + $\frac{x}{5}$ + x = $\frac{7}{8}$

Multiply through by 40 ( the LCM of 5 and 8 ) to clear the fractions

80 + 8x + 40x = 35

48x + 80 = 35 ( subtract 80 from both sides )

48x = - 45 ( divide both sides by 48 )

x = - $\frac{45}{48}$ = - $\frac{15}{16}$
