Solve x+1/6=7/9

$$x+ \frac{ 1 }{ 6 } = \frac{ 7 }{ 9 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{11}{18}\approx 0.611111111$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

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

$$x=\frac{7}{9}-\frac{1}{6}$$

Least common multiple of 9 and 6 is 18. Convert \frac{7}{9} and \frac{1}{6} to fractions with denominator 18.

$$x=\frac{14}{18}-\frac{3}{18}$$

Since \frac{14}{18} and \frac{3}{18} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$x=\frac{14-3}{18}$$

Subtract 3 from 14 to get 11.

$$x=\frac{11}{18}$$
