Assuming the problem is:

The simplest way is to multiply both sides by the Lowest Common Denominator (LCD). The LCD in your equation is 6. So:

Using the distributive equation on the left we get:

The fractions reduce to "non-fractions" (which is why we multiplied by the LCD):

Simplifying the left side we get:


Subtracting 6 from both sides we get:
