Solve x+1/6=8/9

$$x + \frac { 1 } { 6 } = \frac { 8 } { 9 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{13}{18}\approx 0.722222222$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{6} from both sides.

$$x=\frac{8}{9}-\frac{1}{6}$$

Least common multiple of 9 and 6 is 18. Convert \frac{8}{9} and \frac{1}{6} to fractions with denominator 18.

$$x=\frac{16}{18}-\frac{3}{18}$$

Since \frac{16}{18} and \frac{3}{18} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{16-3}{18}$$

Subtract 3 from 16 to get 13.

$$x=\frac{13}{18}$$
