\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{5}{4}
Subtract \frac{1}{3}x from both sides.
\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}
Combine \frac{1}{2}x and -\frac{1}{3}x to get \frac{1}{6}x.
\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{5}{4}-\frac{1}{4}
Subtract \frac{1}{4} from both sides.
\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{5-1}{4}
Since \frac{5}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{1}{6}x=\frac{4}{4}
Subtract 1 from 5 to get 4.
\frac{1}{6}x=1
Divide 4 by 4 to get 1.
x=1\times 6
Multiply both sides by 6, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{6}.
x=6
