Answer 2

For this case we must solve the following equation:

$\frac {2} {3} x- \frac {1} {2} = \frac {1} {3} + \frac {5} {6} x$

Subtract $\frac {5} {6} x$ on both sides of the equation:

$\frac {2} {3} x- \frac {5} {6} x- \frac {1} {2} = \frac {1} {3}$

We add $\frac {1} {2}$ to both sides of the equation:

$\frac {2} {3} x- \frac {5} {6} x = \frac {1} {3} + \frac {1} {2}\\\frac {12-15} {18} x = \frac {2 + 3} {6}\\\frac {-3} {18} x = \frac {5} {6}\\- \frac {1} {6} x = \frac {5} {6}$

We multiply by 6 on both sides of the equation:

$-x = 5$

We multiply by -1 on both sides of the equation:

$x = -5$

Answer:

$x = -5$
