Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ - 5}{8} + x = \frac{ - 3}{2} \\ </p><p>$

$x =\frac{ - 3}{2} - (\frac{ - 5}{8} )</p><p>$

$x = \frac{ - 3}{2} + \frac{5}{8}$

LCM of 2 and 8 is 8.

$x = \frac{ - 12}{8} + \frac{5}{8}$

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

Hence, -7/8 should be added to -5/8 to get -3/2.
