Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{17}{24}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] - (- [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] ) = x

Note that - (- [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] ) = + [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] , thus

- [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] = x

Multiply through by 24 ( the lcm of 8 and 3 ) to clear the fractions

- 15 + 32 = 24x

17 = 24x ( divide both sides by 24 )

[tex]\frac{17}{24}[/tex] = x
