Answer:
x = - [tex]\frac{27}{20}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] x + 2 = [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
Multiply through by 24 ( the LCM of 6 and 8 ) to clear the fractions
20x + 48 = 21 ( subtract 48 from both sides )
20x = - 27 ( divide both sides by 20 )
x = - [tex]\frac{27}{20}[/tex]
