Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$x + \frac{5}{3}-x - \frac{3}{2}$

Required

Solve

$x + \frac{5}{3}-x - \frac{3}{2}$

Collect like terms

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

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

Take LCM

$x + \frac{5}{3}-x - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{10 -9}{6}$

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