Hi,
Note:  Goal is to <u>isolate the variable</u> on one side of the Equation
That gives a plan of action!
{{{1/6 - x/2 = ((x-5))/3}}}   ||Multiplying thru by 6 so as all denominators = 1
 1 - 3x =2( x-5)    |Distribute the 2 to remove the parenthesis 
 1 - 3x = 2x - 10   |Adding 3x to both sides
    1 = 5x - 10      |Adding 10 to both sides
    11 = 5x 
    {{{11/5 = x}}}
