Question

Solve the equation:
x+ 7/8= 4 
(I need to find out what "x" is and I think it might be "3 1/8")

anonymous · Answer

Okay. We can see that x + 7/8 = 4. You can subtract 7/8 from both sides. Your answer is correct

Express the answer in simplest form.
 -1/3 + w = 5 3/8
  w =

anonymous · Answer

So we have -1/3 and w which equals 5 3/8. Now add -1/3 on each side

aaalive · Answer

I never got the "add "x" on each side" thing...especially with negative numbers

pooja195 · Answer

x+ 7/8= 4 
Simply put, subtract 7/8 from both sides
4-7/8=?

anonymous · Answer

Its not x. Add -1/3

aaalive · Answer

I used x as to signify a random number...not specific to this question

pooja195 · Answer

3 1/8 is correct

pooja195 · Answer

You have it right

aaalive · Answer

I knew that...we're on a different question now

anonymous · Answer

AAAlive do you understand the step

aaalive · Answer

no, not really...if you explained it, sorry i didn't see it

pooja195 · Answer

It would be better if you reposted in on a new post.... 
 -1/3 + w = 5 3/8
To make your life easier you can turn the mixed number into an improper fraction
43/8 then add 1/3 to cancel it out
43/8+1/3=?

anonymous · Answer

what pooja195 said is correct but one thing is wrong. She said 43/8 + 1/3 but you have to add negative 1/3 to 43/8 Then you will find out w

pooja195 · Answer

It's not wrong.

pooja195 · Answer

You would add 1/3 because you want to cancel out the negative.

aaalive · Answer

so...Im confused..do I add the negative or not
