Full solution

Q. Find x x , if 9578=x18 9-5 \frac{7}{8}=x-\frac{1}{8} .
  1. Simplify Left Side: First, simplify the left side of the equation.\newlineCalculate 5(7)/8=35/85(7)/8 = 35/8.\newlineNow, 935/8=72/835/8=37/89 - 35/8 = 72/8 - 35/8 = 37/8.
  2. Rewrite Equation: Next, rewrite the equation with the simplified left side.\newline378=x18\frac{37}{8} = x - \frac{1}{8}.
  3. Solve for x: Now, solve for x by adding 18\frac{1}{8} to both sides of the equation.\newline378+18=x\frac{37}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = x.\newline388=x\frac{38}{8} = x.
  4. Final Simplification: Finally, simplify 388\frac{38}{8} to get xx.\newline388=4.75\frac{38}{8} = 4.75.
