Question
Solve the equation.

q+5/9=1/6
q=

Answer 1

q = -
`(7)/(18)`

Explanation:

q +
`(5)/(9)` =
`(1)/(6)`

Multiply through by 18 ( the LCM of 9 and 6 ) to clear the fractions

18q + 10 = 3 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

18q = - 7 ( divide both sides by 18 )

q = -
`(7)/(18)`

Answer 2

q= 1/6 - 5/9
q= -7/18
