Answer:

To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we can start by subtracting 2 1/4 from both sides of the equation:

5 1/6x = 10 - 2 1/4

5 1/6x = 7 3/4

Next, we can simplify the left side of the equation by multiplying the whole equation by the reciprocal of 5 1/6, which is 6/31:

(6/31) * 5 1/6x = (6/31) * 7 3/4

x = 3/2

Therefore, the value of x in the equation is 3/2.
