To find the value of x that will give you -3/8 when you subtract 9/4, you can set up the equation:

x - 9/4 = -3/8

To solve for x, you can add 9/4 to both sides of the equation:

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

Simplifying, you get:

x = -3/8 + 18/8

Combining the fractions:

x = 15/8

Therefore, the value of x that will give you -3/8 when you subtract 9/4 is 15/8.

Let's use the variable "b" to represent the number of baskets Andrew made. Since Joe made 2 baskets more than Andrew, we can write the equation:

b + 2 = 9

To solve for b, we can subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

b + 2 - 2 = 9 - 2

Simplifying, we get:

b = 7

Therefore, Andrew made 7 baskets.
