    So in this problem we can see that 2 out of 3 of the fractions have a denominator of 6. One of the fractions (2/3) has a denominator of 3. But we can make the denominator 6 by multiplying it by 2!

    Now the equation is:

    x - 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6

    So now let's solve for x!

    x - 4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6

    x + 1/6 = 9/6 (Addition property of equality)

    x = 8/6 (Subtraction property of equality)

    Now we divide ...

    8 divided by 6 equals 1.33

    Now if we plug that into the equation as 1 and 1/3 ...

    1 and 1/3 - 2/3 + 1/6

    2/3 + 1/6

    4/6 + 1/6 = 5/6

    So that means your answer is decimal 1.33 or mixed fraction 1 and 1/3
