Answer 2

The value of the equation for x is
`x=(49)/(6)`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided equation.

`x-(1)/(6)=8`

We need to solve the equation for x.

Add 1/6 from both the sides.

`x-(1)/(6)=8`

`x-(1)/(6)+(1)/(6)=8+(1)/(6)`

`x=8+(1)/(6)`

`x=(48+1)/(6)`

`x=(49)/(6)`

Hence, the value of the equation for x is
`x=(49)/(6)`.
