3 1/3(2 1/5x-4 2/3)-5 5/6=0 Since you can't subtract 2 1/5x and 4 2/3 together you would use the next step in the order of operations which is multiplication. (3 1/3)(2 1/5x)=(10/3)(11/5x)=110/15x (3 1/3)(4 2/3)=(10/3)(14/3)=140/9 7 5/15x - 15 5/9 Then you would subtract 7 5/15x - 15 5/9 with 5 5/6. 7 5/15x -15 5/9 - 5 5/6= 15 5/9=15 10/18 5 5/6=5 15/18 7 5/15x - 15 10/18 - 5 15/18= 7 5/15x - 21 7/18=0 Then you would try to solve for x by isolating it on one side. 7 5/15x=21 7/18 110/15x=385/18 x=(385/18)(15/110) x=5775/1980 x= 2 1815/1980 x= 2 363/396 x= 2 121/132 x= 2 11/12 I hope you understood!!!! =)
