How do I solve for - 1/2x + 1/6 = 2/3 ?

Sagot :

Explanation

[tex]-\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

First we subtract 1/6

[tex]\begin{gathered} -\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{6} \\ -\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{3}{6} \\ -\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now we divide by -1/2

[tex]x=\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{-\frac{1}{2}}=-1[/tex]

Answer

x=-1
