Starting with
%285x%2F6%29+%2B+%282%2F3%29+-+%288x%2F9%29+=+0
Group like terms
%285x%2F6%29+-+%288x%2F9%29+=+%28-2%2F3%29
Create common denominators
%285x%2F6%29%2A%283%2F3%29+-+%288x%2F9%29%2A%282%2F2%29
%2815x%2F18%29+-+%2816x%2F18%29+=+%28-2%2F3%29
Multiply both sides by 18
15x - 16x = -12
-x = -12
Divide both sides by -1
x = 12
