    X=88/45

    (2.5x / (11/5)) - (7/18) = (11/6) - Equation

    (12.5x/11) - (7/18) = (11/6) - Multiply 2.5*5 = 12.5

    (125x/11) - (35/9) = (55/3) - Multiply both sides by 10

    (125x/11) = (200/9) - Add (35/9) to both sides

    125x = (2200/9) - Multiply both sides by 11

    x = (88/45) - Divide both sides by 125
