To solve this equation, we first need to simplify the left side by distributing the negative sign:
6 2/3 - (x + 0.25) = 2 1/6
6 2/3 - x - 0.25 = 2 1/6
Next, we convert all the fractions to improper fractions:
20/3 - x - 1/4 = 13/6
Now, let's combine like terms:
20/3 - 1/4 - x = 13/6
To add 20/3 and -1/4, we need a common denominator, which is 12:
(80/12 - 3/12)/ 12 - x = 13/6
(77/12)/ 12 - x = 13/6
Now, simplify the fractions:
77/12 - x = 13/6
To get rid of the fractions, multiply both sides by 12:
12(77/12 - x) = 12(13/6)
77 - 12x = 26
Now, solve for x:
-12x = -51
x = 51/12
x = 4.25
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 4.25.
