Solve 5/18+x=11/24

$$\frac { 5 } { 18 } + x = \frac { 11 } { 24 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{13}{72}\approx 0.180555556$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{5}{18} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{11}{24}-\frac{5}{18}$$

Least common multiple of 24 and 18 is 72. Convert \frac{11}{24} and \frac{5}{18} to fractions with denominator 72.

$$x=\frac{33}{72}-\frac{20}{72}$$

Since \frac{33}{72} and \frac{20}{72} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{33-20}{72}$$

Subtract 20 from 33 to get 13.

$$x=\frac{13}{72}$$
