x/3 - x/4 + 5/6 = 1/2
The lowest common denominator among x/3, x/4, 5/6, and 1/2 is 12. So multiply each term by 12:
12x/3 - 12x/4 + 60/6 = 12/2
Now reduce:
4x - 3x + 10 = 6
x = -4
Answer: x = -4
To check:
-4/3 - (-4/4) + 5/6 = 1/2
-4/3 + 1 + 5/6 = 1/2
-8/6 + 6/6 + 5/6 = 3/6
3/6 = 3/6
So it checks.

x/3-x/4=1/2-5/6
=(4x-3x)/12=(3-5)/6
=x/12=-1/3
=x=-1*12/3=-4

x/3-x/4+5/6=1/2
4x - 3x +10 = 12/2
x = 6 - 10
x = -4
4x - 3x +10 = 12/2
x = 6 - 10
x = -4

If you're solving for x, x = -4
