Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

1/2 + 1/x = 5/6

Bring 1/2 + 1/x together using the common denominator 2 x:

(x + 2)/(2 x) = 5/6

Cross multiply:

6 (x + 2) = 10 x

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

6 x + 12 = 10 x

Subtract 10 x + 12 from both sides:

-4 x = -12

Divide both sides by -4:

Answer:  x = 3
