Answer 1

have you tried to work it out?

Answer 2

yeah & I came out with 3. & i have a feeling it's not right

Answer 3

can you do it again careful with signs !!!

Answer 4

\[x+\frac{5}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\\
x=\frac{1}{3}-\frac{5}{6}\]

Answer 5

so yeah 3 is not right

Answer 6

\[\frac{1}{3}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{2}{6}-\frac{5}{6}=-\frac{3}{6}=-\frac{1}{2}\]

Answer 7

i see that it is not one of your choices so there must be a typo somewhere, unless it is actually
\[\frac{x+5}{6}=\frac{1}{3}\]

Answer 8

if it i the second one, then multiply by 6 and start with
\[x+5=2\]

Answer 9

in which case \(x=2-5=-3\)

Answer 10

now you can get right answer
