Answer:
3 2/3 + 2 5/6 – x = 5
11/3 + 17/6 – x = 5
LCM of 3 & 6 = 6
11/3 X 2/2 = 22/6, 17/6
22+17/6
39/6 – x = 5
Now we will interchange the places of x & 5
39/6 – 5 = x
39/6 – 5/1 = x
LCM of 6 & 1 = 6
39/6, 5/1 X 6/6 = 30/6
39-30/6
9/6 = 1 3/6
If you want to further reduce it, the answer will be 3/2 = 1 1/2
Answer:
let the number be x
(3 2/3 + 2 5/6 ) – x = 5
(11/3 + 17/6) – x = 5
(44/36 + 51/36) – x = 5
(44+ 51/36) -x = 5
95/36 – x = 5
x = 95× 5/36
x = 475/36
