    Answer combine 1/2 and x.

    X/2+2/3=1/6

    Subtract 2/3 from both sides of the equation

    X/2=1/6-2/3

    Simplify the right side of the equation

    -2/3 as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by 2/2

    X/2=1/6-2/3 x 2/2

    Multiply 3 by 2

    X/2 = 1/6 - 2/6 x 2

    Combine the numerators over the common denominator

    X/2 = 1-2 x2 / 6

    Simplify the numerator

    Multiply by - 2 by 2

    X/2 = 1-4/6

    Subtract 4 from 1

    X/2 = - 3/6

    Cancel the common factor of - 3 and 6

    Factor 3 out of - 3

    X/2 = 3 (-1) / 6

    Cancel the common factor of 6

    X/2 = 3.-1/3.2

    Rewrite the expression

    X/2 = - 1/2

    Move the negative in front of the fraction

    X/2 = - 1/2

    Since both sides have the same Denominator the numerators must be equal.

    X=-1
