You need to isolate the variable my dividing each side by factors that don’t contain the variable
x=-5
First convert the numbers to get the same denominator
1/3=4/12
5/6=10/12
5/12
Then add them all together
4/12+10/12+5/12= 19/12
Then reduce
1 7/12
Your answer is 1 ton and 7/12 of a ton
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The rule is ...
log(a/b) = log(a) -log(b) . . . . all logs to the same base
Then for a/b = 13/x, this becomes ...
log(13/x) = log(13) -log(x)
If the base of logarithms is 9, then this is ...
log9(13/x) = log9(13) -log9(x)
