Question

2x+1/5=-x+5/6

Answer 1

hm is 1/5 a fraction or is / a sign of division?

Answer 2

Put parentheses around the fraction otherwise we don't know if it is

\(\frac{2x + 1}{5}\) or \(2x + \frac{1}{5}\)

Answer 3

\[2 x+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{6}-x \]\[2 x+\frac{1}{5}-\left(\frac{5}{6}-x\right)=0 \]\[\frac{1}{30} (90 x-19)=0\]\[x=\frac{19}{90} \]

Answer 4

@robtobey, you're making an assumption

Answer 5

From WolframAlpha:\[2x+1/5=-x+5/6 \to 2 x+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{6}-x \]

Answer 6

You're making an assumption about the original problem.

Answer 7

What is the original problem?

Answer 8

Nobody knows except the original poster

Answer 9

\[\frac{2x+1}{5}=\frac{-x+5}{6}\]Now, do cross multiplication as\[6(2x+1)=5(-x+5)\]\[12x+6=-5x+25\]\[12x+5x=25-6\]\[7x=19\]\[x=\frac{19}{7}\]
