1) To solve the first equation, we first need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.
8 9/10 = 89/10 4 5/6 = 29/6
So, the equation becomes:
89/10 - x = 29/6
To solve for x, we need to isolate x by first getting rid of the fraction on the left side. We can do this by finding a common denominator for 10 and 6, which is 30.
Multiplying every term by 30, we get:
30(89/10) - 30x = 30(29/6) 267 - 30x = 145
Subtracting 267 from both sides:
-30x = -122
Dividing by -30 to solve for x:
x = 122/30 x = 61/15
Therefore, x = 61/15 or 4 1/15.
2) For the second equation, we first need to simplify it by combining like terms.
9/14 + (x - 3/7) = 23/28
To combine the fractions on the left side, we first find a common denominator for 14 and 7, which is 28.

9/14 + (x - 3/7) = 23/28
To combine the fractions on the left side, we first find a common denominator for 14 and 7, which is 28.
Multiplying every term by 28, we get:
28(9/14) + 28(x - 3/7) = 28(23/28)
18 + 28x - 12 = 23
Combining like terms:
28x + 6 = 23
Subtracting 6 from both sides:
28x = 17
Dividing by 28 to solve for x:
x = 17/28
Therefore, x = 17/28.
