Subtract the 2/3 first from both sides
so it would be
x/2 = 5/6 - 2/3
to subtract those 2 fractions find the LCD which is 6
5/6 - 4/6 = 1/6
so now it would be
x/2 = 1/6
multply the 2 from both sides and it would be
x = 2 * 1/6
which is 1/3
x = 1/3

You just have to convert each fraction so they all have the same denominator, in this case 6:
x/2, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 3 to give 3x/6
2/3, multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2 to give 4/6
This makes 3x/6 + 4/6 = 5/6, so if we were to reverse it:
5/6 - 4/6 = 3x/6, meaning that 3x/6 is equal to 1/6
This means that x is a third of one, 1/3.

easy,
x/2 = 5/6 - 2/3
x/2 = 5/6 - 2*(2/3)
x/2 = (5 - 4)/6
x = 2*(1/6)
x = 1/3

okay start by isolating the X function, so you need to subtract 2/3 on both sides:
x/2 + 2/3= 5/6
- 2/3 -2/3
------------------------
x/2= 5/6 -2/3
Then to substract fractions you need a common denominator so multiply 2/3's by 2/2 so that it has a denominator of 6
X/2=5/6- 2/3(2/2)
x/2 = 5/6 - 4/6
X/2 = 1/6 (subtract the 2)
Then you need to multiply by 2 to get rid of the fraction to both sides
x/2 (2/1) = 1/6 (2/1)
x=2/6
which simplys to 1/3
and theres ur answer

x/2 + 2/3 = 5/6
Multiply both sides by 6 getting:
3x +4 = 5
3x = 1
x = 1/3
