What plus 6/5 equals 6/7?

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

x + 6/5 = 6/7

To solve this equation, we want x alone on the left side of the equation so we start by subtracting 6/5 on both sides like this:

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

x + 6/5 - 6/5 leaves x and 6/7 - 6/5 is -12/35 which means we end up with x = -12/35. Therefore, the answer to "What plus 6/5 equals 6/7?" is as follows:

-12/35

It is always good to double-check your math to make sure you did it right. When we entered -12/35 for x in this equation x + 6/5 = 6/7, we get the following true equation which means our math is correct.

-12/35 + 6/5 = 6/7
