5 1/18 = 4.5x + 7/9x + 2 1/3 + 1/6x
make sure they have the same denominator
5 1/18 = 4.5x + 14/18x + 2 6/18 + 3/18x
subtract 2 6/18 from both sides
5 1/18 - 2 6/18 = 4.5x + 14/18x + 2 6/18 - 2 6/18 + 3/18x
4 19/18 - 2 6/18 = 4.5x + 14/18x + 2 6/18 - 2 6/18 + 3/18x
2 13/18 = 4.5x + 14/18x + 3/18x
convert 4.5x to fraction form with same denominator
2 13/18 = 9/18x + 14/18x + 3/18x
combine like terms
2 13/18 = 9/18x + 14/18x + 3/18x
2 13/18 = 26/18x
simplify
2 13/18 = 1 8/18x
your answer is: x = 1 23/26
