Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]\frac{1}{3}x - \frac{5}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Find the common denominator for the fractions, which is 6. Rewrite 1/3 as 2/6.

[tex]\frac{2}{6}x - \frac{5}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Combine like terms.

[tex]-\frac{3}{6} x = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Simplify.

-0.5x = 1/4

Divide both sides by -0.5.

x = -1/2 = -0.5
