Find a common denominator and then cross multiply.

Start by adding $(2x)/2$ + $x/6$ To do that you must have a common denominator which is 6.

$(6x)/6$ + $x/6$ = $(7x)/6$

So $(7x)/6$ = 5 . Cross multiply to get $7x$ = 30

$x$ = $30/7$

How do you solve \frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{6}=5\frac{2x}{2}+\frac{x}{6}=5?
