You first start by combining like terms:
5x - 3/6 - x + 2/6
(5x - x) + (-3/6 + 2/6)
(4x) + (-1/6)
=4x - 1/6

lets reorginize it a bit. ok so... 5x-x-3/6+2/6. simplified to 4x-1/6. simplified to 4x=1/6. the answer is x=1/6 divided by 4

combine like terms...
5x - 3/6 - x + 2/6 becomes
5x + (-x) = 4x
and -3/6 + 2/6 = -1/6
simplified is
4x - 1/6
