The value of x is 6 in the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is;

[tex]\frac{x}{6}+\frac{2x}{3}=5[/tex]

Taking least common multiple

[tex]\frac{x+4x}{6}=5[/tex]

Multiplying both sides by 6

[tex]6*\frac{5x}{6}=5*6\\5x=30[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 5

[tex]\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{30}{5}\\x=6[/tex]

The value of x is 6 in the equation.
