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
