QUESTION: 1 1/5 = -2 2/3 x +6 solve for x will give brainliest answer quickly or no brainliest.

Answer 1

Answer: $x=1\frac{4}{5}$

Simplify both sides of the equation

$\frac{6}{5} =\frac{-8}{3} x+6$

Flip the equation

$\frac{-8}{3} x+6=\frac{6}{5}$

Subtract 6 from both sides

$\frac{-8}{3} x+6-6=\frac{6}{5} -6$

$\frac{-8}{3} x=\frac{-24}{5}$

Multiply both sides by 3/(-8)

$(\frac{3}{-8} )*\frac{-8}{3} x)=(\frac{3}{-8} )*(\frac{-24}{5} )$

$x=\frac{9}{5}$

Turn 9/5 into a Mixed Number

$x=\frac{9}{5} =1\frac{4}{5} \\x=1\frac{4}{5}$
