`\huge \underline{ \boxed{ \tt Solution: }}`

`\tt \pink{\large\dagger} \: \: \: \: \: \: 2(1)/(2) + x = 5(1)/(3) \\ \tt : \implies (5)/(2) + x = (16)/(3) \\ \tt : \implies x = (16)/(3) - (5)/(2) \\ \tt : \implies x = (16 * 2)/(3 * 2) - (5 * 3)/(2 * 3) \\ \tt : \implies x = (32)/(6) - (15)/(6) \\ \tt : \implies x = (32 - 15)/(6) \\ \tt : \implies x = (17)/(6)`

`\tt \pink{ \star \: Hence \: the \: answer \: is \: (17)/(6).}`

Answer 2

Answer: hope it helps

Explanation:

2 1/2 + x = 5 1/3

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

6x = 17

x = 17/
