\frac{1}{6}x=a
Combine \frac{x}{2} and -\frac{x}{3} to get \frac{1}{6}x.
\frac{\frac{1}{6}x}{\frac{1}{6}}=\frac{a}{\frac{1}{6}}
Multiply both sides by 6.
x=\frac{a}{\frac{1}{6}}
Dividing by \frac{1}{6} undoes the multiplication by \frac{1}{6}.
x=6a
Divide a by \frac{1}{6} by multiplying a by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{6}.
