on the right side of the equation the denominator of the 2 fractions are the same so you can add the numerators together. 5/8 + 3/8 = 8/8 which equals 1. Add the other 2 numbers on the right side. 7 + 9 = 16. Then add the 1 = 17.
This leaves the equation x+13=17. Subtract 13 from both sides of the equation to isolate x.
x+13-13=17-13 x+13-13 leaves x on the left side.
17-13 leaves 4 on the right side.
x=4

If you are solving for x then what you need to do first is add the two mixed numbers together. 7 5/8 plus 9 3/8 same denominator, so you can add the 5 and the three and you get 8/8 which is one, and add the 9 + 7 and that's 16. 16 plus one equals 17(answer for the right side of problem!!
7 5/8
+ 9 3/8
------------
16 8/8 = 17
Now to get x by itself, what you to do is subtract 13 from both sides cause what you do to one side you do to the other. so that will leave x by itself. Problem looks like this... x+13-13= 17-13. x=4
Simple, hope that helps!! Goodluck for whatever you needed it for!!

x=4
x+13= 7 5/8 + 9 3/8
x +13 = 17
x = 17-13
x = 4

x+13=17 in other words, just add the fractions (equals 1 plus the rest of the numbers,, 16 1+16=17
x=4 (subtract 13 from 17 to find x)
X=4

x = 4
when you combined the fractions together, you get a whole. then you add together 7 + 9 + 1. which is 17. then you subtract 13 from both sides cuz whatever you do to one side you have to do to the other. 17 - 13 = 4. then you are left with x = 4.

same as:
x + 13 = 61/8 + 75/8
x + 13 = ( 61 + 75 ) / 8
by cross multiplication,
8 ( x + 13 ) = 61 + 75
8x + 104 = 136
8x = 136 - 104
8x = 32
x = 32/8 ( by common factor of 8 )
x = 4 ( final answer)
