Question

What value of x satisfies the equation x/6-1/5=7/30

Answer 1

We need to isolate x in order to find x. However, we need to have common denominators first.

`(5x)/(30)- (6)/(30) = (7)/(30)`

`(5x)/(30)= (13)/(30)`
Multiply by 30 on both sides.

`5x=13`
Divide by 5 on both sides to isolate x.

`x= (13)/(5)`
