Solve 5/6+x=11/3

$$\frac { 5 } { 6 } + x = 1 \frac { 1 } { 3 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{2}=0.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 6, the least common multiple of 6,3.

$$5+6x=2\left(1\times 3+1\right)$$

Multiply 1 and 3 to get 3.

$$5+6x=2\left(3+1\right)$$

Add 3 and 1 to get 4.

$$5+6x=2\times 4$$

Multiply 2 and 4 to get 8.

$$5+6x=8$$

Subtract 5 from both sides.

$$6x=8-5$$

Subtract 5 from 8 to get 3.

$$6x=3$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$x=\frac{3}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$x=\frac{1}{2}$$
