Answer:

The value for x is 10/179 or 0.0559 (Rounding to three decimal places)

Explanation:

1. Let's solve for x, the following equation:

1/5x - 1/6 (x-2) = 6x

1/5x - 1/6x + 2/6 = 6x

6x - 5x + 10 = 180x (30 as the Lowest Common Denominator)

x - 180x = - 10

-179x = -10

x = 10/179

x = 10/179 or 0.0559 (Rounding to three decimal places)
