Question

solve for x.
\\( x + 1 \frac{5}{6} = 4 \\)
write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.
\\( x = \square \\)

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate x by subtracting $1\frac{5}{6}$

$x = 4 - 1\frac{5}{6}$

Step2: Convert to improper fractions

$4 = \frac{24}{6}$, $1\frac{5}{6} = \frac{11}{6}$

Step3: Subtract the fractions

$x = \frac{24}{6} - \frac{11}{6} = \frac{13}{6}$

Step4: Convert to mixed number (optional)

$\frac{13}{6} = 2\frac{1}{6}$

Answer:

$x = 2\frac{1}{6}$ or $\frac{13}{6}$
