2x-\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{5}{6}
Subtract \frac{1}{3}x from both sides.
\frac{5}{3}x-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{5}{6}
Combine 2x and -\frac{1}{3}x to get \frac{5}{3}x.
\frac{5}{3}x=\frac{5}{6}+\frac{3}{4}
Add \frac{3}{4} to both sides.
\frac{5}{3}x=\frac{10}{12}+\frac{9}{12}
Least common multiple of 6 and 4 is 12. Convert \frac{5}{6} and \frac{3}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.
\frac{5}{3}x=\frac{10+9}{12}
Since \frac{10}{12} and \frac{9}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
\frac{5}{3}x=\frac{19}{12}
Add 10 and 9 to get 19.
x=\frac{19}{12}\times \frac{3}{5}
Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{5}, the reciprocal of \frac{5}{3}.
x=\frac{19\times 3}{12\times 5}
Multiply \frac{19}{12} times \frac{3}{5} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{57}{60}
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{19\times 3}{12\times 5}.
x=\frac{19}{20}
Reduce the fraction \frac{57}{60} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 3.
