Answer:


x = 6

Explanation:

In the equation:


(2)/(3) x - (1)/(6) = (1)/(2) x + (5)/(6)

Multiply both sides of the equation by the common denominator which is 6


(2 * 6)/(3) x - (1 * 6)/(6 ) = (1 * 6)/(2) x + (5 * 6)/(6)


⟹ (12)/(3) x - (6)/(6) = (6)/(2) x + (30)/(6)

Reduce the fraction


4x - 1 = 3x + 5

Now, collect like terms to find the value of x


4x - 3x = 5 + 1

Therefore:


x = 6

I hope this helps

Answer:

x = 6

Explanation:

multiply by 6 the whole equation to eliminate fractions and convert the coefficients and independent numbers to integers:


4x-1=3x+5


4x-3x=5+1


x=6

Hope this helps
