Question

Q + 5/9= 1/6 from big ideas mathbook

Answer 1

9We have such eqation
Q$+ \frac{5}{9} = \frac{1}{6}$    /*9   (multiply both sides by 9)
9Q+5=$\frac{9}{6}$    /-5 both sides
9Q=$\frac{9}{6}- 5$
9Q=$\frac{9}{6}- \frac{5*6}{6}$
9Q=$\frac{9-30}{6}$
9Q=-$\frac{21}{6}$        /:9 divide both sides by 9
Q=-$\frac{21}{6}:9$
Q$\frac{21}{6*9} =- \frac{21}{54}=[tex] \frac{7}{18}$ - its the answer
