Use a common denominator,
x%2F5-x%2F6=1%2F3
%28x%2F5%29%286%2F6%29-%28x%2F6%29%285%2F5%29=1%2F3
6x%2F30-5x%2F30=1%2F3
x%2F30=1%2F3
Now solve for x.

x/5-x/6=1/3
x%2F5+-+x%2F6+=+1%2F3

6x - 5x = 10 ------ Multiplying both sides by LCD, 30

highlight_green%28x+=+10%29

That's all! Nothing more, nothing less!
