Question

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

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

`-(1)/(2)x+(1)/(6)=(2)/(3)`

First we subtract 1/6

`\begin{gathered} -(1)/(2)x=(2)/(3)-(1)/(6) \\ -(1)/(2)x=(3)/(6) \\ -(1)/(2)x=(1)/(2) \end{gathered}`

Now we divide by -1/2

`x=((1)/(2))/(-(1)/(2))=-1`

Answer

x=-1
