Hi I need some help with this math problem..... x - 3/4= 5/6
How could you get only x on the left hand side?
x=19/12
Sure, I can help you solve this math problem.
To solve for x in the equation x - 3/4 = 5/6, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
Step 1: Add 3/4 to both sides of the equation to get rid of the negative coefficient of x.
x - 3/4 + 3/4 = 5/6 + 3/4
x = 5/6 + 3/4
Step 2: Find a common denominator for the fractions on the right side. The least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 4 is 12, so we will use 12 as the denominator for both fractions.
x = (5/6) * (2/2) + (3/4) * (3/3) (multiplying each fraction by its respective factor of 2 and 3 to get a common denominator of 12)
x = 10/12 + 9/12
x = 19/12
So the solution to the equation x - 3/4 = 5/6 is x = 19/12.
