x/6+x/5=7/6.
5x+6x = 35 (multiplied both sides by 30 and simplified.
11x=35
x=35/11

%0D%0Ax%2F6%2Bx%2F5=7%2F6%0D%0A

The common denominator is 30, so we rewrite everything so that they can be added.

%0D%0A%28x%2F6%29%285%2F5%29%2B%28x%2F5%29%286%2F6%29=%287%2F6%29%285%2F5%29%0D%0A





%285x%2B6x%29%2F30=35%2F30%0D%0A


If we multiply both sides of the equation by 30 then simplify we get the following

11x=35

Finally after we divide by 11 we know the value of x
x=35%2F11
