Answer:

x=15

Explanation:


(1)/(3)x + 5 = (1)/(2)x + (5)/(2)

Bring fractions to the common denominator, by multiplying by the factor that brings it to the LCM,


(2)/(6)x+5=(3)/(6)x+(5)/(2)

Inverse operations


(2)/(6)x+5=(3)/(6)x+(5)/(2)


-(2)/(6) x


5=(1)/(6)x+(5)/(2)\\*6\\\\30=x+15\\-15\\15=x
