I have:
H^+1, O^-2
2(+1)+(-2)+x= 0
x=0?
H^+1, O^-2
2(+1)+(-2)+x= 0
x=0?

Yes your answer (0) is correct.The oxidation state of carbon in glucose(C6H12O6) is also zero.
6X+12(+1)+6(-2)=0
6X=0;X=0
6X+12(+1)+6(-2)=0
6X=0;X=0

You don't usually even ask about this in organic chemistry, since the bonds are typically non-polar covalent, not ionic.
