1 1/2 - (5/6x + 1/3) = 8/9 Really urgent pls help

x = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the mixed number 1 1/2 as 1 9/18.  The denominator here is 18, which is the smallest number divisible by 2, 6, 3 and 9.  Then we have:

1 9/18  -(15/18)x - 6/18 = 16/18

or:

27/18 -(15/18)x = 22/18

Clear this of fractions by multiplying all terms by 18:

27 - 15x = 22, or

5 = 15x, or

x = 5/15, or x = 1/3
