To solve for x, we first simplify the equation:
X + 28 7/8 - x + 24 3/4 - x = 36 9/16
Combine like terms:
X - x - x = -2x28 7/8 + 24 3/4 = 53 31/8
Now substitute back into the equation:
-2x + 53 31/8 = 36 9/16
Subtract 53 31/8 from both sides:
-2x = 36 9/16 - 53 31/8-2x = 36 9/16 - 53 31/8-2x = 36 9/16 - 53 31/8
Convert 36 9/16 to 578/16Convert 53 31/8 to 429/8
-2x = 578/16 - 429/8
Now, find a common denominator to subtract the fractions:
-2x = (578/16)(2/2) - 429/8-2x = 1156/32 - 429/8-2x = 1156/32 - 1716/32-2x = -560/32-2x = -35x = -35 / (-2)x = 17.5
Therefore, the value of x is 17.5.

Subtract 53 31/8 from both sides:
-2x = 36 9/16 - 53 31/8
-2x = 36 9/16 - 53 31/8
-2x = 36 9/16 - 53 31/8
Convert 36 9/16 to 578/16
Convert 53 31/8 to 429/8
-2x = 578/16 - 429/8
Now, find a common denominator to subtract the fractions:

-2x = 1156/32 - 1716/32
-2x = -560/32
-2x = -35
x = -35 / (-2)
x = 17.5
Therefore, the value of x is 17.5.
