Solve 5/6x-2/3x=3/12

$$\frac{ 5 }{ 6 } x- \frac{ 2 }{ 3 } x= \frac{ 3 }{ 12 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{3}{12}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{3}{12} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.

$$\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{1}{4}$$

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

$$x=\frac{1}{4}\times 6$$

Multiply \frac{1}{4} and 6 to get \frac{6}{4}.

$$x=\frac{6}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{3}{2}$$
