Question

What is q+5/9=1/6 what is q

Answer 1

If your teacher do not put the value of the q all the letters will be 1 so: 1+5=6 (after you just simplify)

Answer 2

Q is -7/18

Find least common denominator of 9 and 6 which is 18

Multiply by LCM=18
Q x 18 + 5/9 x 18= 1/6 x 18

Refine
18q + 10=3

Subtract 10 from both sides
18q+10-10=3-10

Refine
18q=7

Divide 18 by both sides
18q/18= -7/18

Refine
Q is -7/18
