Answer 1

The value of x in the equation x + 0.97 = -2 is -2 - 0.97 = -2.97.

Answer 2

What is the solution of the equation x − 9/4 = −3/8 ?(1 point)

Answer 3

To solve for x in the equation x - 9/4 = -3/8, we need to isolate x.

First, let's get rid of the fraction 9/4 by adding 9/4 to both sides of the equation:

x - 9/4 + 9/4 = -3/8 + 9/4

This simplifies to:

x = -3/8 + 9/4

Next, let's find a common denominator for the fractions -3/8 and 9/4, which is 8:

x = (-3/8)(2/2) + (9/4)(2/2)

This simplifies to:

x = -6/16 + 18/16

Now, we can add the fractions:

x = -6/16 + 18/16

x = 12/16

Finally, we can simplify the fraction:

x = 3/4

Therefore, the solution of the equation is x = 3/4.
