Question 952538
{{{ 5 - (1/6)*x = -(2/3)*x }}}
Try this:
Multiply both sides by {{{ -6 }}}
{{{ -30 + x = 4x }}}
Now subtract {{{ x }}} from both sides
{{{ -30 = 3x }}}
Divide both sides by {{{ 3 }}}
{{{ -10 = x }}}
---------------
check answer:
{{{ 5 - (1/6)*x = -(2/3)*x }}}
{{{ 5 - (1/6)*(-10) = -(2/3)*(-10) }}}
{{{ 5 + 10/6 = 20/3 }}}
{{{ 30/6 + 10/6 = 40/6 }}}
{{{ 40/6 = 40/6 }}}
OK
