To solve the equation, we need to isolate the variable x.
First, we can simplify both sides of the equation by finding the common denominator.
The common denominator of 3 and 6 is 6.
So, rewriting the equation with the common denominator:
(10/6) - 2x = 1/6
Next, we can subtract (10/6) from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable x.
-2x = (1/6) - (10/6)
-2x = -9/6
To solve for x, we need to divide both sides of the equation by -2.
x = (-9/6) / (-2)
Simplifying the expression:
x = 9/12
x = 3/4
Therefore, the solution to the equation 5/3 - 2x = 1/6 is x = 3/4.
