Solve 3/2-(5/6x 1/3)=8/9

Evaluate

\frac{3}{2} - (\frac{5}{6} x \times \frac{1}{3}) = \frac{8}{9}

Multiply the terms

More Steps

\frac{3}{2} - \frac{5}{18} x = \frac{8}{9}

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

- \frac{5}{18} x = \frac{8}{9} - \frac{3}{2}

Subtract the numbers

More Steps

- \frac{5}{18} x = - \frac{11}{18}

Change the signs on both sides of the equation

\frac{5}{18} x = \frac{11}{18}
