Answer 2

Answer:

the answer is 3 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

so the question in 9-5 7/8 = x - 1/8

now when you change  5 7/8 to an improper fraction you get 47/8

so, 9 - 47/8 = x - 1/8

first, we do 9 - 47/8

9/1 - 47/8  (lcm = 8)

equivalent fraction = 72/8 - 47/8 and we get the answer as 25/8

so now, x - 1/8 = 25/8 and we transpose the 1/8 to the other side.

so it becomes x = 25/8 +1/8

x = 26/8

we have to make it to the simplest form ( divide numerator and denominator by 2) and get 13/4.

The last and final step is to change the fraction to mixed.

Therefore we get the answer  3 1/4
