Answer 1

Hi there!

Let's solve your equation step-for-step:

I will try to make it as easy-looking as possible!

Before we go into the steps, though, make sure you rewrite the equation first.

`(10)/(1) - (5)/(6) x = (425)/(100)`

Now we simplify.

`10 + (-5)/(6) x = (17)/(4)`

Now, we subtract 10 from both sides.

`(-5)/(6) x + 10 - 10 = (17)/(4) - 10`

`(-5)/(6) x = (-23)/(4)`

Last step! Multiply both sides by
`(6)/(-5)`

`(6)/(-5) * (-5)/(6) x = (6)/(-5) * (-23)/(4)`

`x = (69)/(10)`

FINAL ANSWER -

`x = (69)/(10)`

Hope this helped! :D
