To find the value of x, let's first isolate the x-term on one side of the equation by adding 7/8 to both sides:
x - 7/8 + 7/8 = -5 + 7/8
x = -5 + 7/8
Next, we need to find a common denominator for the fraction and the integer. The common denominator for 8 and 1 is 8.
x = -5(8/8) + 7/8
x = -40/8 + 7/8
Now, we can add the fractions:
x = (-40 + 7)/8
x = -33/8
Therefore, the value of x is -33/8.
x - 7/8 + 7/8 = -5 + 7/8
x = -5 + 7/8
Next, we need to find a common denominator for the fraction and the integer. The common denominator for 8 and 1 is 8.
x = -5(8/8) + 7/8
x = -40/8 + 7/8
Now, we can add the fractions:
x = (-40 + 7)/8
x = -33/8
Therefore, the value of x is -33/8.
