4x%2F3-5%2F6=x%2F2-10 Start with the given equation.


6%284x%2Fcross%283%29-5%2Fcross%286%29%29=6%28x%2Fcross%282%29-10%29 Multiply both sides by the LCD 6 to clear any fractions.


8x-5=3x-60 Distribute and multiply.


8x=3x-60%2B5 Add 5 to both sides.


8x-3x=-60%2B5 Subtract 3x from both sides.


5x=-60%2B5 Combine like terms on the left side.


5x=-55 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28-55%29%2F%285%29 Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x.


x=-11 Reduce.
