You can put this solution on YOUR website!
5x − x/ 5 + x + 1/6 = 9x
multiply both sides of = by 30
150x -6x +30x +5 = 270x
174x +5 = 270x
96x = 5
x = 5/96
now let's check the answer
5*5/96 - 5/96 * 1/5 +5/96 + 1/6 = 9*5/96
25/96 - 1/96 +5/96 + 16/96 = 45/96
24/96 + 21/96 = 45/96
45/96 = 45/96
the answer for x checks out
