Answer:

The answer should be 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem just adds both the numerator and the denominator which is something you can't do. You have to find the least common denominator, which in this case is 6, and change the numerator as the denominators have been changed. So 1/3 becomes 2/6. 3/6 + 2/6 = 5/6

Answer:

x = -18

Step-by-step explanation:

Please, share the instructions when you post a problem. I can only assume here that you want to solve the given equation for x.

Multiplying out this equation, we get:

-5x - 20 = -4x - 2

Then:

-x = 18 and x = -18.

Answer:

I think it is 6/1

Step-by-step explanation:

You are wrong because 0.167 into a fraction is 167/1000 and that isn't one of the options but when I did it 1 1/2=3/2=1.5 and 1/4=0.25 so I did 1.5 divide by 0.25 and it gave me 6 so that why I think that my answer is correct and yours is not.
