Answer:

15/2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 3/4 - 1/6x = 4 1/2

move the variable to it's own side.

5 3/4 - 4 1/2 = 1/6x

change the subtracting side to have common denominators

5 3/4 - 4 2/4 = 1/6x

1 1/4 = 1/6 x

divide both sides by 1/6, same thing as multiplying both sides by 6 (reciprocal)

30/4 = x

reduce: 15/2 = x

To solve problems like this you can either graph or solve mathematically. To do the ladder we need to solve for one variable at a time. So lets cancel one variable out.
Multiply equation 1 by 2
This will give 4x-2y=14
Now we can get rid of y by subtracting 2 from 1
This will give x=9
Plug back in to either equation, i will use equation 2
3(9)-2y=5 simplify
-2y=-22 solve
Y=11
