To solve the equation 5/3 - 2x = 1/6, we can start by isolating the variable x.
First, let's subtract 5/3 from both sides of the equation:
-2x = 1/6 - 5/3
Next, let's find a common denominator for 1/6 and 5/3, which is 6.
-2x = 1/6 - 10/6
Now, let's combine the numerators:
-2x = (1 - 10)/6
-2x = -9/6
Simplifying the right side of the equation:
-2x = -3/2
To solve for x, we can divide both sides of the equation by -2:
x = (-3/2)/(-2)
x = 3/4
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5/3 - 2x = 1/6 is x = 3/4.
