To solve this equation, we will first isolate the term with "x" on one side.

5/3 - 2x = 1/6

To move the term with "x" to the other side, we will subtract 5/3 from both sides:

-2x = 1/6 - 5/3

Next, we need to find a common denominator for 1/6 and 5/3, which is 6. We can rewrite 5/3 as 10/6:

-2x = 1/6 - 10/6

Now we can combine the fractions:

-2x = (1 - 10)/6
-2x = -9/6

Simplify the fraction:

-2x = -3/2

To solve for x, we will divide both sides by -2:

x = (-3/2) / (-2)
x = 3/4

Therefore, the solution is x = 3/4.
