Question

For what value of 'x' is $\frac{7}{8}-(-\frac{11}{4})+x=3\frac{7}{24}$?

• A. $-3$
• B. $\frac{-1}{3}$
• C. $\frac{2}{3}$
• D. $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $\frac{-1}{3}$

$\frac{7}{8}-(-\frac{11}{4})+x=3\frac{7}{24}\Rightarrow x=\frac{79}{24}-\frac{29}{8}=\left(\frac{-8}{24}\right)=\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right)$
