Answer 5

oh .. i was thinking about it too much -___- ive done way too much math today .. thanks !

Answer 6

\(\large\frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{x}\)

Multiply the first fraction by 2/2; Multiply the second fraction by 3/3 to get:

\(\large\frac{2}{6} + \frac{3}{6} = \frac{1}{x}\)

Combine fractions on the left side to get:
\(\large\frac{5}{6} = \frac{1}{x}\)

Cross Multiply:

\(5x = 6\)

Divide both sides by 5 to get:

\(\large x = \frac{6}{5}\)
