Shown in many baby steps:
%281%2F2%29%28x+-1%2F6%29%2B2%2F3=5%2F6%2B%281%2F3%29%281%2F2-3x%29
%281%2F2%29x-%281%2F2%29%281%2F6%29%2B2%2F3=%281%2F3%29%281%2F2%29-3x%281%2F3%29
%281%2F2%29x-1%2F12%2B2%2F3=5%2F6%2B1%2F6-x
%281%2F2%29x-1%2F12%2B2%2F3=1-x
At this point, to get rid of those pesky fractions,
I would multiply both sides of the equal sign times 12 to get
12%28%281%2F2%29x-1%2F12%2B2%2F3%29=12%281-x%29
12%281%2F2%29x-12%281%2F12%29%2B12%282%2F3%29=12-12x
6x-1%2B8=12-12x
12x%2B6x%2B7=12
18x%2B7=12
18x=12-7
18x=5
highlight%28x=5%2F18%29
