11x-10=11x\times \frac{5}{6}-\frac{5}{6}
Use the distributive property to multiply 11x-1 by \frac{5}{6}.
11x-10=\frac{11\times 5}{6}x-\frac{5}{6}
Express 11\times \frac{5}{6} as a single fraction.
11x-10=\frac{55}{6}x-\frac{5}{6}
Multiply 11 and 5 to get 55.
11x-10-\frac{55}{6}x=-\frac{5}{6}
Subtract \frac{55}{6}x from both sides.
\frac{11}{6}x-10=-\frac{5}{6}
Combine 11x and -\frac{55}{6}x to get \frac{11}{6}x.
\frac{11}{6}x=-\frac{5}{6}+10
Add 10 to both sides.
\frac{11}{6}x=-\frac{5}{6}+\frac{60}{6}
Convert 10 to fraction \frac{60}{6}.
\frac{11}{6}x=\frac{-5+60}{6}
Since -\frac{5}{6} and \frac{60}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{11}{6}x=\frac{55}{6}
Add -5 and 60 to get 55.
x=\frac{55}{6}\times \frac{6}{11}
Multiply both sides by \frac{6}{11}, the reciprocal of \frac{11}{6}.
x=\frac{55\times 6}{6\times 11}
Multiply \frac{55}{6} times \frac{6}{11} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{55}{11}
Cancel out 6 in both numerator and denominator.
x=5
Divide 55 by 11 to get 5.
