    x = 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Solve for x:

    1/2 + 1/x = 5/6

    Bring 1/2 + 1/x together using the common denominator 2 x:

    (x + 2) / (2 x) = 5/6

    Cross multiply:

    6 (x + 2) = 10 x

    Expand out terms of the left hand side:

    6 x + 12 = 10 x

    Subtract 10 x + 12 from both sides:

    -4 x = - 12

    Divide both sides by - 4:

    Answer: x = 3
