Question 1206308: Please help me solve this equation: x+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{3}-\frac{x}{6} Found 2 solutions by ikleyn, MathLover1:Answer by ikleyn(52787) (Show Source):
x + = - .
Multiply both sides (each term) by 6. You will get
6x + 3 = 10 - x
Collect the terms with x on the left side; the constant term on the right side.
When moving the terms from left to right and from right to left, change their sides to opposite
6x + x = 10 - 3
Combine like terms
7x = 7
Divide both sides by 7
x = 1.
At this point, the solution is complete.
ANSWER. x= 1.
Solved.
