What is q+5/9=1/6 what is q

Q is - 7/18

Find least common denominator of 9 and 6 which is 18

Multiply by LCM=18

Q x 18 + 5/9 x 18 = 1/6 x 18

Refine

18q + 10=3

Subtract 10 from both sides

18q+10-10=3-10

Refine

18q=7

Divide 18 by both sides

18q/18 = - 7/18

Refine

Q is - 7/18

If your teacher do not put the value of the q all the letters will be 1 so: 1+5=6 (after you just simplify)
