1 answer

To solve the equation x − 9/4 = −3/8, you need to isolate the variable x.

First, add 9/4 to both sides of the equation:
x - 9/4 + 9/4 = -3/8 + 9/4
x = (9/4) - (3/8)

To simplify, find a common denominator:
x = (9*2)/(4*2) - (3/8)
x = 18/8 - 3/8

Subtract the fractions:
x = 15/8

Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 15/8.
