6\times 5+6x\times \frac{1}{2}=13
Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by 6x, the least common multiple of x,2,6x.
30+6x\times \frac{1}{2}=13
Multiply 6 and 5 to get 30.
30+3x=13
Multiply 6 and \frac{1}{2} to get 3.
3x=13-30
Subtract 30 from both sides.
3x=-17
Subtract 30 from 13 to get -17.
x=\frac{-17}{3}
Divide both sides by 3.
x=-\frac{17}{3}
Fraction \frac{-17}{3} can be rewritten as -\frac{17}{3} by extracting the negative sign.
