Question

5/6x - 4 = 11 what does x equal?

Answer 1

18

Explanation:

(5/6)x – 4 = 11

(5/6)x = 11 + 4

(5/6)x = 15

5x = 15×6 = 90

x = 90/5 = 18

Answer 2

x = 18

Explanation:

5/6x - 4 = 11

Add 4 to each side

5/6x - 4+4 = 11+4

5/6x = 15

Multiply by 6/5 to isolate x

6/5 * 5/6x = 15 * 6/5

x = 18
