Answer:
1 1/8
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 1 3/4 = 2 7/8 ( subtract 1 3/4 to isolate x)
2 7/8 is the same as 23/8
1 3/4 is the same as 7/4
you have to have the same denominator to subtract the fractions so you multiply 7/4 by 2
this gets 23/8 - 14/8 ( you subtract 23-14)
you get 9/8 which is the same as 1 1/8
