5 1/18 = 4.5x + 7/9x + 2 1/3 + 1/6x
make sure they have the same denominator
5 1/18 = 4.5x + <u>14/18x</u> + <u>2 6/18</u> + <u>3/18x</u>
subtract 2 6/18 from both sides
<u>5 1/18 - 2 6/18</u> = 4.5x + 14/18x + <u>2 6/18 - 2 6/18</u> + 3/18x
<u>4 19/18 - 2 6/18</u> = 4.5x + 14/18x + <u>2 6/18 - 2 6/18</u> + 3/18x
2 13/18 = 4.5x + 14/18x + 3/18x
convert 4.5x to fraction form with same denominator
2 13/18 = 9/18x + 14/18x + 3/18x
combine like terms
2 13/18 = <u>9/18x + 14/18x + 3/18x</u>
2 13/18 = 26/18x
simplify
2 13/18 = <u>1 8/18x</u>
<em>your answer is: </em> <u>x = 1 23/26</u>
