Answer:

x = -1

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

2/3x + -1/2 = 2x + 5/6

Step 2: Subtract 2x from both sides.

2/3x + -1/2 - 2x = 2x + 5/6 - 2x

Step 3: Add 1/2 to both sides.

-4/3x + -1/2 = 5/6

-4/3x + -1/2 + 1/2 = 5/6 + 1/2

-4/3x = 4/3

Step 4: Multiply both sides by 3/(-4).

(-3/4) * (-4/3x) = (3/-4) * (4/3)

x = -1
