To find the value of X in the equation 1/2 + X = 2/3, you'll want to isolate X on one side of the equation.
First, let's get rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6 (the least common denominator of 2 and 3):
6 * (1/2 + X) = 6 * (2/3)
Simplifying, we have:
3 * (1/2) + 6X = 4
Now, we can calculate the multiplication on the left side:
3/2 + 6X = 4
Next, let's eliminate the fraction on the left side by multiplying both sides by 2:
2 * (3/2 + 6X) = 2 * 4
Simplifying further, we get:
3 + 12X = 8
Subtracting 3 from both sides of the equation:
3 + 12X - 3 = 8 - 3
This gives us:
12X = 5
Finally, to find the value of X, divide both sides by 12:
12X/12 = 5/12
Simplifying, we have:
X = 5/12
Therefore, the solution to the equation 1/2 + X = 2/3 is X = 5/12.
1/2+X=2/3

My apologies for any confusion. Let's try solving the equation again.
We have the equation 1/2 + X = 2/3.
To solve for X, we can subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation:
1/2 + X - 1/2 = 2/3 - 1/2
Simplifying, we have:
X = 2/3 - 1/2
To simplify the right side, we need to find a common denominator for 2/3 and 1/2, which is 6.
Converting 2/3 and 1/2 to have a common denominator of 6:
2/3 = 4/6
1/2 = 3/6
Now, we can substitute the values back into the equation:
X = 4/6 - 3/6
Simplifying further, we get:
X = 1/6
Therefore, the solution to the equation 1/2 + X = 2/3 is X = 1/6.
We have the equation 1/2 + X = 2/3.
To solve for X, we can subtract 1/2 from both sides of the equation:
1/2 + X - 1/2 = 2/3 - 1/2
Simplifying, we have:
X = 2/3 - 1/2
To simplify the right side, we need to find a common denominator for 2/3 and 1/2, which is 6.
Converting 2/3 and 1/2 to have a common denominator of 6:
2/3 = 4/6
1/2 = 3/6
Now, we can substitute the values back into the equation:
X = 4/6 - 3/6
Simplifying further, we get:
X = 1/6
Therefore, the solution to the equation 1/2 + X = 2/3 is X = 1/6.
