3-x+2/3=3-2x/3+1/6     simplify

9/3 - x + 2/3 = 18/6 - 2x/3 + 1/6

11/3 - x = 17/6 - (2/3)x        multiply through by 6 to get rid of the fractions

22 - 6x = 17 - 4x                  add 6x to both sides

22 = 17 + 2x                        subtract 17 from both sides

5 = 2x                                  divide both sides by 2

5/2 = x
