7)-5/2=x+2/8

To solve the equation 7 - 5/2 = x + 2/8, we will start by simplifying both sides of the equation.

1. Calculate 5/2:
5 divided by 2 equals 2.5.

2. Now substitute back into the equation:
7 - 2.5 = x + 2/8.

3. Calculate the left side:
7 - 2.5 = 4.5.

4. Now we can rewrite the equation:
4.5 = x + 2/8.

5. Calculate 2/8:
2 divided by 8 equals 0.25.

6. Substitute back into the equation:
4.5 = x + 0.25.

7. To isolate x, subtract 0.25 from both sides:
4.5 - 0.25 = x.

8. Calculate the left side:
4.5 - 0.25 = 4.25.

Thus, we have:
x = 4.25.

The solution to the equation is x = 4.25.
