Anyone me with this question

You can try to do fraction subtraction for the left side of the equation.remember that to add or subtract fractions, you need a common denominator. the lowest common denominator between 2 and 3 is 6. we need to have both fractions have a denominator of 6.      if we multiply the numerator and denominator of  by 3, we will get 6 in the denominator.    if we multiply the numerator and denominator of  by 2, we will get 6 in the denominator.    now the fractions can be combined.      distribute the coefficients on the parentheses. (remember that negative times a negative makes a positive, hence the + then combine like terms.      multiply both sides of the equation by 6 to get rid of the denominator.      so x=8.
