%285%2F6%29c-%282%2F3%29c=1%2F3

LCD = 6
multiply the equation by 6
%285%2A6%2F6%29c-%282%2A6%2F3%29c=1%2A6%2F3
5c-4c=2
c=2

Multiply the entire equation by 18 (the LCM of 6 and 3) to remove the fractions.
...
18%285%2F6%29c+-+18%282%2F3%29c+=+18%281%2F3%29
15c - 12c = 6
Combine like terms
3c = 6
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate c
highlight_green%28c+=+2%29
