Solve 2x-7=5/6

$$2 x - 7 = \frac { 5 } { 6 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{47}{12} = 3\frac{11}{12} \approx 3.916666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 7 to both sides.

$$2x=\frac{5}{6}+7$$

Convert 7 to fraction \frac{42}{6}.

$$2x=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{42}{6}$$

Since \frac{5}{6} and \frac{42}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$2x=\frac{5+42}{6}$$

Add 5 and 42 to get 47.

$$2x=\frac{47}{6}$$

Divide both sides by 2.

$$x=\frac{\frac{47}{6}}{2}$$

Express \frac{\frac{47}{6}}{2} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{47}{6\times 2}$$

Multiply 6 and 2 to get 12.

$$x=\frac{47}{12}$$
