take l.c .m of 3 and 6 then

2x+x/6 = 7/2

3x = 7/2*3

x = 21/2/3

x = 21/2 * 1/3

x = 7/2

Explanation:

x/3+x/6=7/2

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand

x/3+x/6=7/2

Simplifying:

+ 0.333333333333x+x/6=7/2

Simplifying:

+ 0.333333333333x + 0.166666666667x=7/2

Simplifying:

+ 0.333333333333x + 0.166666666667x=+3.5

We move all terms containing x to the left and all other terms to the right.

+ 0.333333333333x + 0.166666666667x=+3.5

We simplify left and right side of the equation.

+ 0.5x=+3.5

We divide both sides of the equation by 0.5 to get x.

x=7
