x=\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1\times 1}{2\times 3}x+\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}x
Multiply \frac{1}{2} times \frac{1}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{1}{3}x+\frac{1}{6}x+\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}x
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 1}{2\times 3}.
x=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}x
Combine \frac{1}{3}x and \frac{1}{6}x to get \frac{1}{2}x.
x=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1\times 1}{2\times 2}\times \frac{1}{3}x
Multiply \frac{1}{2} times \frac{1}{2} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{3}x
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 1}{2\times 2}.
x=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1\times 1}{4\times 3}x
Multiply \frac{1}{4} times \frac{1}{3} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
x=\frac{1}{2}x+\frac{1}{12}x
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 1}{4\times 3}.
x=\frac{7}{12}x
Combine \frac{1}{2}x and \frac{1}{12}x to get \frac{7}{12}x.
x-\frac{7}{12}x=0
Subtract \frac{7}{12}x from both sides.
\frac{5}{12}x=0
Combine x and -\frac{7}{12}x to get \frac{5}{12}x.
x=0
Product of two numbers is equal to 0 if at least one of them is 0. Since \frac{5}{12} is not equal to 0, x must be equal to 0.
