Solve -5/6+x=8

$$\frac { - 5 } { 6 } + x = 8$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{53}{6} = 8\frac{5}{6} \approx 8.833333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Fraction \frac{-5}{6} can be rewritten as -\frac{5}{6} by extracting the negative sign.

$$-\frac{5}{6}+x=8$$

Add \frac{5}{6} to both sides.

$$x=8+\frac{5}{6}$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{48}{6}.

$$x=\frac{48}{6}+\frac{5}{6}$$

Since \frac{48}{6} and \frac{5}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x=\frac{48+5}{6}$$

Add 48 and 5 to get 53.

$$x=\frac{53}{6}$$
