Question Date Calculations

I need to be able to use the current date and calculate 7 days ago to be stored in another variable to be passed to a file in my Unix shell script. I need the date in the following format:

date '+%m/%d/%Y'
or
05/16/2006

How do I calculate date minus 7 days or 1 week ago?
