Solve x+1/3=-5/6

$$x+ \frac{ 1 }{ 3 } =- \frac{ 5 }{ 6 }$$

Solve for x

$$x = -\frac{7}{6} = -1\frac{1}{6} \approx -1.166666667$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{3} from both sides.

$$x=-\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{3}$$

Least common multiple of 6 and 3 is 6. Convert -\frac{5}{6} and \frac{1}{3} to fractions with denominator 6.

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

Since -\frac{5}{6} and \frac{2}{6} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

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

Subtract 2 from -5 to get -7.

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