To find the value of x in the equation x + 0.97 = -2, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

We can do this by subtracting 0.97 from both sides of the equation:
x + 0.97 - 0.97 = -2 - 0.97
x = -2.97

Therefore, the value of x in the equation is -2.97.

To find the solution of the equation x − 9/4 = −3/8, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we can add 9/4 to both sides of the equation:
x − 9/4 + 9/4 = −3/8 + 9/4
x = (-3 + 9(2))/8 = 15/8

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

To find the value of x in the equation x - 7/8 = -5, we need to add the same number to both sides of the equation. Let's add 7/8 to both sides:

x - 7/8 + 7/8 = -5 + 7/8

On the left side, the -7/8 and +7/8 cancel out, leaving us with just x:

x = -5 + 7/8

Now we need to find the sum of -5 and 7/8. To add these two numbers, we need to find a common denominator, which is 8. Rewriting -5 as -40/8, we have:

x = -40/8 + 7/8

Now we can add the numerators:

x = (-40 + 7)/8

Simplifying the numerator:

x = -33/8

Therefore, the value of x is -33/8.

To find the value of x, you need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. In this case, you can do this by adding the same number to both sides of the equation.

To determine what number to add, you need to identify the opposite of the constant term on the side of the equation where the variable 'x' is located. In the given equation, the constant term on the right side is -5. The opposite of -5 is 5.

So, to find the value of x, you need to add 5 to both sides of the equation:

x - 7/8 + 5 = -5 + 5

The left side simplifies to:

x - 7/8 + 40/8 = 0

Combining like terms on the left side:

x + 33/8 = 0

Now, you can solve for x by isolating the variable on one side. Subtracting 33/8 from both sides of the equation:

x + 33/8 - 33/8 = 0 - 33/8

The left side simplifies to:

x = -33/8

Therefore, the value of x in the equation x - 7/8 = -5 can be found by adding 5 to both sides, resulting in x = -33/8.
