Question 222460
{{{x/3-1/2=5/6}}}


Step 1. Multiply 6 to both sides of the equation to get rid of denominators.


{{{6*x/3-6*1/2=6*5/6}}}


{{{2x-3=5}}}


Step 2.  Add 3 from to both sides of the equation


{{{2x-3+3=5+3}}}


{{{2x=8}}}


Step 3.  Divide by 2 to both sides of the equation


{{{2x/2=8/2}}}


{{{x=4}}}


Check with original equation...{{{x/3-1/2=4/3-1/2=8/6-3/6=5/6}}}... which is a true statement.


Step 4.  ANSWER:  {{{x=4}}}


I hope the above steps were helpful.
