Answer:

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:

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 :)
