Solve 6x-8=5/6

$$6 x - 8 = \frac { 5 } { 6 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{53}{36} = 1\frac{17}{36} \approx 1.472222222$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Add 8 to both sides.

$$6x=\frac{5}{6}+8$$

Convert 8 to fraction \frac{48}{6}.

$$6x=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{48}{6}$$

Since \frac{5}{6} and \frac{48}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$6x=\frac{5+48}{6}$$

Add 5 and 48 to get 53.

$$6x=\frac{53}{6}$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$x=\frac{\frac{53}{6}}{6}$$

Express \frac{\frac{53}{6}}{6} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{53}{6\times 6}$$

Multiply 6 and 6 to get 36.

$$x=\frac{53}{36}$$
