Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

[tex]\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{6}[/tex]

Now,

subtracting  [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] from both sides

we get

⇒ [tex]\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

or

⇒ [tex]\frac{x}{2}+0=\frac{5}{6}-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

or

⇒  [tex]\frac{x}{2}=\frac{5\times3-6}{6\times3}[/tex]

or

⇒ [tex]\frac{x}{2}=\frac{9}{18}[/tex]

or

[tex]\frac{x}{2}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Now, multiplying both sides with the number 2, we get

x = 1
