Question

Please solve for x+1/6=-2/3

Answer 1

We are given the equation:

`x+(1)/(6)=(-2)/(3)`

Now we have fraction 1/6 in addition on the left side.

So we apply opposite operation of addition on the right side.

Subtracting 1/6 from right side we have,

`x=(-2)/(3)-(1)/(6)`

Now in fraction addition and subtraction , we have to find the lcd first.

LCD of 3 and 6 is 6,

`x=(-4)/(6)-(1)/(6)`

x=-5/6

Answer: x=-5/6
