Solve =5/6x-2/3x=-3/8

$$= \frac { 5 } { 6 } x - \frac { 2 } { 3 } x = - \frac { 3 } { 8 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{9}{4} = -2\frac{1}{4} = -2.25$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Combine \frac{5}{6}x and -\frac{2}{3}x to get \frac{1}{6}x.

$$\frac{1}{6}x=-\frac{3}{8}$$

Multiply both sides by 6, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{6}.

$$x=-\frac{3}{8}\times 6$$

Express -\frac{3}{8}\times 6 as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{-3\times 6}{8}$$

Multiply -3 and 6 to get -18.

$$x=\frac{-18}{8}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-18}{8} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=-\frac{9}{4}$$
