Решим уравнения.
а) $$x - \frac{7}{8} = \frac{11}{12}$$
$$x = \frac{11}{12} + \frac{7}{8}$$
$$x = \frac{11 \cdot 2}{24} + \frac{7 \cdot 3}{24} = \frac{22}{24} + \frac{21}{24} = \frac{22+21}{24} = \frac{43}{24} = 1 \frac{19}{24}$$
Ответ: $$x = 1 \frac{19}{24}$$
б) $$\frac{5}{8} + x = 5 \frac{1}{7}$$
$$x = 5 \frac{1}{7} - \frac{5}{8}$$
$$x = \frac{5 \cdot 7 + 1}{7} - \frac{5}{8} = \frac{36}{7} - \frac{5}{8}$$
$$x = \frac{36 \cdot 8}{56} - \frac{5 \cdot 7}{56} = \frac{288}{56} - \frac{35}{56} = \frac{288-35}{56} = \frac{253}{56} = 4 \frac{29}{56}$$
Ответ: $$x = 4 \frac{29}{56}$$
