How do you simplify the expression with both multi-step operations and fraction coefficients: 2/3x - 5/6 = 1/2( x + 10 )?

To simplify the expression 2/3x – 5/6 = 1/2(x + 10), first distribute the 1/2 on the right side: 2/3x – 5/6 = 1/2x + 5. Then, to eliminate the fractions, multiply every term by 6: 4x – 5 = 3x + 30. Finally, solve for x by isolating it: x = 35.
