Answer:

x= 9/5 = 1.8

Explanation:

5/6x= 3/6-2

5/6x= 3/6-12/6

5/6x= -9/6

5/6x= -3/2

x= (-3/2)÷(-5/6)

x=9/5 = 1.8

Answer:

5x +12 = 3

Explanation:

Multiply both sides of the equation by the least common denominator. Here, that is 6.


(5)/(6)x+2=(3)/(6)\qquad\text{given}\\\\6\left((5)/(6)x+2\right)=6*(3)/(6)\qquad\text{multiply by 6}\\\\5x+6*2=3\qquad\text{eliminate parentheses}\\\\\boxed{5x+12=3}}
