1/2x -5+2/3x =7/6x+4
First, you need to find the least common denominator between the 3 fractions....
2-3-6 The GCF is 6...
So to get rid of the fractions, multiply the whole equation by 2

6[ 1/2x -5+2/3x =7/6x +4 ]=
3x -30 +4x =7x +24

Now that we got rid of our fractions, we combine like terms...

3x -30 + 4x= 7x + 24
7x -30 = 7x + 24
-30 = 24 is not true

So, there is no solution

Hope this helps Nic
