Question

Solve the equation. 5/6x - 4 = -2

A. 2 2/5

B. 1 2/3

C. -2 2/5

D. 3 2/5

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Given

`(5)/(6)` x - 4 = - 2 ( add 4 to both sides )

`(5)/(6)` x = 2 ( multiply both sides by 6 to clear the fraction )

5x = 12 ( divide both sides by 5 )

x =
`(12)/(5)` = 2
`(2)/(5)` → A
