The second step is wrong. What should've been done is to find greatest common factor (gcf) of 1/6 and -2. This is because you cannont add together a number with a variable to a number without a variable. So get the variable by itself by subtracting 1/6 from both sides.

1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________


Turn -2 into a fraction and find the gcf of -2 and 6:

1/5x + 1/6 = -2
___— 1/6_— 1/6
____________

1/5x = -2/1 — 1/6 ——> 1/5x = -12/6 — 1/6
1/5x = -13/6

Then divide each side by 1/5 to get the variable by itself; remeber: when dividing a fraction by a fraction, you multiply by the reciprocal.

5/1 • 1/5x = -13/6 • 5/1
x = 65/6

Then, simplify

65/6} 10.83 or 10 83/100

3/11 = 0.27 (Repeating)
