What is the value of x? x-1/6=8 Enter your answer in the box in simplest form. x =

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer: 49/6 or 8 1/6

Steps:

x - 1/6 = 8 (given)

x = 8 + 1/6 (add 1/6 to each side of the equation)

x = (48/6) + 1/6 (8 = 48/6)

x = (48 + 1) / 6 (combine over a common denominator)

x = 49/6 (or 8 1/6)
