Question

the sum of 1/2 and 6 times a number is equal to 5/6 subtracted from 7 times the number

Answer 1

Answer:

X =1/39

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2+ 6X = 5/6 - 7X Transposing terms

6X  + 7X =5/6 - 1/2

13X = 5/6 - 3/6

13X = 2/6 simplifying

13X = 1/3

and transposing 13:

X =1 / (13x3)  reducing

X= 1/39
