  1. 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

  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
