Question 762477
Is this the problem?
{{{ (5/6)*x - 2x + 8/3 = 5/3 }}}
If so,
Multiply both sides by {{{ 6 }}}
{{{ 5x - 12x + 16 = 10 }}}
{{{ -7x + 16 = 10 }}}
Subtract {{{ 16 }}} from both sides
{{{ -7x = -6 }}}
Divide both sides by {{{ -7 }}}
{{{ x = (-6) / (-7) }}}
{{{ x = 6/7 }}}
--------------
Check this by plugging back into the equation:
{{{ (5/6)*x - 2x + 8/3 = 5/3 }}}
{{{ (5/6)*(6/7) - 2*(6/7) + 8/3 = 5/3 }}}
{{{ 5/7 - 12/7 + 8/3 = 5/3 }}}
{{{ -7/7 = 5/3 - 8/3 }}}
{{{ -7/7 = -3/3 }}}
{{{ -1 = -1 }}}
OK
