Answer 1

A.

Add Two-thirds to both sides.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Add Two-thirds to both sides

solution:

x-2/3= 5/6

We have to find how this can be solved for "x" in one step

Remember that,

We we add or subtract same number from both sides of a equation, the equation still remains true

Therefore, from given,

x-2/3=5/6

Add Two-thirds to both sides

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

x=5/6+2/3

x=9/6

Add Two-thirds to both sides to solve the sum
