Right now, your equation is:

2x x

- + - = 5

3 6

First, in order to add the fractions, the denominator must be the same. So we multiply 2x over 3 by 2, so it becomes 4x over 6. Your equation is now:

4x x

- + - = 5

6 6

Add the two fractions. It becomes:

5x

--- = 5

6

Isolate x. So multiply 5 by 6.

5x = 30

Divide by 5.

x = 6

What is the advantage that the method od substitution has over the graphing method of solving system of equations?

Substitution is a way to solve without graphing, and sometimes there are equations that are impossible or very difficult to graph that are easier to just substitute. Mostly though, it is a way to solve if you have no calculator or cannot use one (for a test or worksheet).
