I don't understand how to solve for x when working with fractions. Found 2 solutions by Fombitz, stanbon:Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can either find a common denominator or get rid of fractions by multiplication.
Multiply both sides by 12.
I think you can take it from there to solve for x.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! solve the equation:
(1/6)x + (5/6) = (5/12)

Multiply thru by 12 to get:
2x + 10 = 5
2x = -5
x = -5/2
