If you are trying to solve
  (1/2)x + (1/3)x = 10 You can collect terms and divide by the coefficient of x to get
  x(1/2 + 1/3) = x(5/6) = 10
  x = (6/5)*10
  x = 12
If you are trying to solve
  1/(2x) + 1/(3x) = 10 You can multiply by 6x and divide by the coefficient of x to get
  3 + 2 = 60x
  5/60 = x
  x = 1/12
In the latter case, parentheses are needed to identify the denominator of each expression.
