How to adjust accessory belts?

How do you adjust the ac compressor and alternator belt on a 97 accord? They both came loose somehow and I can't find the belt tensioners. Please explain how to do it also, thanks!

If you look at the alternator there are 3 bolts. Two facing the front of the motor the other facing the front of the car. The one facing the front of the car will be below the alt housing. You loosen the front bolt but don't remove. Then tighten the bolt facing the front of the car until proper tension is achieved. Then retighten all 3 bolts. The one belt runs both the Alt & AC.
