Question

4x-5 /6- 2x-1 /6 = 2/3

Answer 1

The right answer = 8

Answer 2

x =
`(5)/(6)`

Explanation:

Given

4x -
`(5)/(6)` - 2x -
`(1)/(6)` =
`(2)/(3)`

Multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions

24x - 5 - 12x - 1 = 4

12x - 6 = 4 ( add 6 to both sides )

12x = 10 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x =
`(10)/(12)` =
`(5)/(6)`
