Answer:

  x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

As you have indicated, you want to multiply both sides of the equation by 6x.

  $\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}\qquad\text{given}\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{x}\right)\cdot6x=\left(\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}\right)\cdot6x\qquad\text{multiply by 6x}\\\\6=x+2x\qquad\text{simplify}\\\\6 = 3x\qquad\text{collect terms}\\\\\dfrac{6}{3}=x\qquad\text{divide by the coefficient of x }\\\\\boxed{x=2}$

Additional comment

The denominator on the left is x. The least common denominator on the right is 6. To clear fractions, you can multiply by the product of these values: 6x. Doing this gave us the one-step linear equation 6 = 3x.

As with any operation performed on an equation, the operation must be performed on both sides of the equation. Here, we multiply both sides by 6x. It is a bit unconventional and confusing to show that multiplication as you have shown it in your figure. Usually, it would be shown as in the 2nd line of the solution, above.
