Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Not quite...

First, add all the values with x together. 2/3x+1/3x= 1x, or just plain x. So now you’re left with x+2=5. To get x alone, subtract the last thing on the side of the equation with x, which is 2. To even it out, subtract 2 from 5 as well. Now you’re left with x=3
