Answer
x=$\frac{1}{4}$
Work Step by Step
Subtract $\frac{7}{8}$ from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable.
x+$\frac{7}{8}$=$\frac{9}{8}$
x=$\frac{9}{8}$-$\frac{7}{8}$
x=$\frac{2}{8}$
x=$\frac{1}{4}$
Check the answer.
($\frac{1}{4}$)+$\frac{7}{8}$=$\frac{9}{8}$
$\frac{2}{8}$+$\frac{7}{8}$=$\frac{9}{8}$
$\frac{9}{8}$=$\frac{9}{8}$
