Question

Please help solve this

Answer 1

x=1/6

Explanation:

So, let's subtract
`(2)/(3)` from both sides, which would mean

`x=(5)/(6)-(2)/(3)`

now, let's make denominators (lower part of the ratios) the same.

`x=(5)/(6)-(4)/(6)=(1)/(6)`

Answer 2

1/6

Explanation:

so what you want to do first to create a common denominator:

1. multiply 2/3 by 2 to get a denominator of 6

2. Now you have 4/6, to solve for x you subtract 4/6 from the total

`(5)/(6) - (4)/(6) = (1)/(6)`

thats how you get your answer!

Hope this helped :)
