So in this problem we can see that 2 out of 3 of the fractions have a denominator of 6. One of the fractions (2/3) has a denominator of 3. But we can make the denominator 6 by multiplying it by 2!
Now the equation is:
x - 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6
So now let's solve for x!
x - 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6
x + 1/6 = 9/6 (Addition property of equality)
x = 8/6 (Subtraction property of equality)
Now we divide...
8 divided by 6 equals 1.33
Now if we plug that into the equation as 1 and 1/3...
1 and 1/3 - 2/3 + 1/6
2/3 + 1/6
4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6
So that means your answer is decimal 1.33 or mixed fraction 1 and 1/3
