You just have to get the x alone o one side. Do you know how?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

*on one side

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

By moving the 1/6 to the other side, it turn negative. this gives you \[x=6-\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }\]

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Now you solve 6 - 1/6 and that is your answer.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

You have to turn 1/6 into a decimal.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

To do this, you just divide 1 into 6. 1 divided by 6 = 0.16666666666

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

You can round that to .17

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Can you do 6-.17=?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

You get 5.83. All you have left to do is turn that into a mixed fraction.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

The 5 is already a whole, so you keep it that way. the .83 is i the hundredths places, so it is 83/100

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

\[5 \frac{ 83 }{ 100 }\]

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Now you simplify that.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Once you do, you get 5/6 so your final answer is \[C. 5\frac{ 5 }{ 6 }\]
