6 = x + 2/3
We're simply just trying to get "x" isolated.
So, we must subtract 2/3 from both sides.
6 - 2/3 = x
Simplify.
Turn 6 into an improper fraction.
6 is now 18/3 :)
So, our new problem looks like this :
18/3 - 2/3 = x
Simplify.
16/3 = x
Turn 16/3 into a mixed fraction.
How many times does 3 go into 16? 5 times! :)
So, we do this :
3 × 5 = 15
16 - 15 = 1
So, x = 5 1/3
