1 answer

To solve the equation x + 1/6 = 6, you need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, subtract 1/6 from both sides of the equation:
x = 6 - 1/6
To get a common denominator, multiply the whole number by the denominator:
x = 36/6 - 1/6
Combine the fractions with the same denominator:
x = (36 - 1)/6
x = 35/6

Thus, the solution to the equation x + 1/6 = 6 is x = 35/6, which can be simplified to x = 5 5/6.
