-2 = x+2/6

1 answer

To solve for x, we first need to isolate it on one side of the equation.

-2 = x + 2/6
We can start by subtracting 2/6 from both sides:

-2 - 2/6 = x

We can simplify -2/6 to -1/3:

-2 - 1/3 = x

Now, we can combine the integers and the fraction:

-6/3 - 1/3 = x

-7/3 = x

Therefore, x = -7/3.
