Yes

Answer 6

Bring the x on one side of the equation
\[2x+x=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{5}\]

Answer 18

Okay :). Do you understand?

Answer 19

1) first add -x to both sides to get 3x+1/5=5/6
2) then get a common denominator for the fractions so the equation becomes 3x+6/30=25/30
then subtract 6/30 from both dies to get 3x=19/30
3) divide both sides by three to get 19/90

hope that helps :)
