%281%2F3%29x=2-%282%2F3%29x Start with the given equation.


3%28%281%2Fcross%283%29%29x%29=3%282-%282%2Fcross%283%29%29x%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 3 to clear any fractions.


x=6-2x Distribute and multiply.


x%2B2x=6 Add 2x to both sides.


3x=6 Combine like terms on the left side.


x=%286%29%2F%283%29 Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x.


x=2 Reduce.
