7/5 plus what equals 7/6?

Here we will show you how to calculate "what" in this sentence: "7/5 plus what equals 7/6?" We start by making this word problem into an algebraic equation where "what" is the variable "x".

7/5 + x = 7/6

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by subtracting 7/5 on both sides like this:

7/5 - 7/5 + x = 7/6 - 7/5

7/5 - 7/5 + x leaves x and 7/6 - 7/5 is -7/30 which means we end up with x = -7/30. Therefore, the answer to "7/5 plus what equals 7/6?" is as follows:
