To find the value of x, first distribute the 1/6 to both terms inside the parentheses on the right side of the equation:

1/3x + 1 = 1/6(2x) + 1/6(3)
1/3x + 1 = 2/6x + 1/2

Next, simplify the equation by converting the fractions to have a common denominator of 6:

1/3x + 1 = 2/6x + 3/6
1/3x + 1 = 2/6x + 3/6
1/3x + 1 = 1/3x + 3/6

Now, simplify the equation further by combining like terms:

1/3x + 1 = 1/3x + 1/2

Subtract 1/3x from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable x:

1 = 1/3x - 1/3x + 1/2
1 = 1/2

Since the equation does not make sense, there is no solution for x that satisfies the original equation 1/3x + 1 = 1/6(2x+3).
