I'm supposed to "fraction bust" but I really don't understand the concept.
Please help.

When you "fraction bust", you are simply finding a way to get rid of fractions to make it easier for yourself. You find the common denominator, which in this case, would be 6. So you multiply EVERYTHING by 6
x/3 + x/2 = 1
Fraction bust
6(x/3 + x/2) = (1)6
Multiply
6x + 6x = 6
Simplify
12x = 6
Divide by 12 on both sides
x = 6/12
Simplify
x = 1/2
Sorry Jillian! I didnt realize you put something here to, I started my answer over an hour ago and then I forgot to finish it :)
