Solve x=1/2x+1/6

$$x = \frac { 1 } { 2 } x + \frac { 1 } { 6 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{1}{3}\approx 0.333333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Subtract \frac{1}{2}x from both sides.

$$x-\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{1}{6}$$

Combine x and -\frac{1}{2}x to get \frac{1}{2}x.

$$\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{1}{6}$$

Multiply both sides by 2, the reciprocal of \frac{1}{2}.

$$x=\frac{1}{6}\times 2$$

Multiply \frac{1}{6} and 2 to get \frac{2}{6}.

$$x=\frac{2}{6}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$x=\frac{1}{3}$$
