Question

X + 1/6 = 6

A.
x = –6

B.
x = –5

C.
x = 5

D.
x = 6

Answer 1

x + 1/6 = 6...subtract 1/6 from both sides
x = 6 - 1/6 ...common denominator is 6
x = 36/6 - 1/6
x = 35/6 or 5 5/6

OR
x + 1/6 = 6....multiply everything by common denominator of 6
6x + 1 = 36
6x = 36 - 1
6x = 35
x = 35/6 or 5 5/6

Answer 2

x = 35/6

Explanation:

x + 1/6 = 6

=> x = 6 - 1/6

=> x = 36/6 - 1/6

=> x = 35/6
