Its just an application of the distribution property of multiplication
ex.
A (B+C) = A*B + A*C

you're given

(5)/(6) x +b = (1)/(6) (5x+2)

when you distribute the 1/6 on the right side, you get

(5)/(6) x +b = (1)/(6) *5 x + (1)/(6) *2

well

(1)/(6) *5 = (5)/(6)

cancel out the 5/6x on both sides, you are left with

b= (2)/(6)
