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

Evaluate

\frac{1}{2} - \frac{x}{3} = \frac{5}{6}

Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign

- \frac{x}{3} = \frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{2}

Subtract the numbers

More Steps

- \frac{x}{3} = \frac{1}{3}

Rewrite the expression

\frac{- x}{3} = \frac{1}{3}

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3

\frac{- x}{3} \times 3 = \frac{1}{3} \times 3

Multiply the terms

- x = 1

Solution

x = - 1
