#color(purple)(x=13#

#(x+2)/6+(x+1)/4=6#

multiply both sides by 24

#:.4(x+2)+6(x+1)=144#

#:.4x+8+6x+6=144#

#:.4x+6x=144-8-6#

#:.10x=130#

#:.color(purple)(x=13#

substitute #color(purple)(x=13#

#:.((color(purple)13)+2)/6+((color(purple)13)+1)/4=6#

#:.15/6+14/4=6#

#:.(60+84)/24=6#

#:.144/24=6#

#:.color(purple)(6=6#
