To solve the equation, 5/3 - 2x = 1/6, we first need to isolate the variable x.
Step 1: Subtract 5/3 from both sides of the equation.
5/3 - 5/3 - 2x = 1/6 - 5/3
-2x = 1/6 - 5/3
Step 2: Simplify the right side of the equation.
-2x = 1/6 - 10/6
-2x = (1 - 10) / 6
-2x = -9/6
Step 3: Simplify the right side of the equation.
-2x = -3/2
Step 4: Divide both sides of the equation by -2.
(-2x) / -2 = (-3/2) / -2
x = 3/4
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5/3 - 2x = 1/6 is x = 3/4. The correct answer is (B) 3/4.
