Solve 4/9+x=5/6

$$\frac { 4 } { 9 } + x = \frac { 5 } { 6 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{7}{18}\approx 0.388888889$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{4}{9} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{4}{9}$$

Least common multiple of 6 and 9 is 18. Convert \frac{5}{6} and \frac{4}{9} to fractions with denominator 18.

$$x=\frac{15}{18}-\frac{8}{18}$$

Since \frac{15}{18} and \frac{8}{18} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{15-8}{18}$$

Subtract 8 from 15 to get 7.

$$x=\frac{7}{18}$$
