1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $$\frac{x}{2} \times 6 + \frac{x}{3} \times 6 = 4 \times 6$$.
2. **Rewrite the equation:** Multiply inside the parentheses:
$$\frac{x}{2} \times 6 = 3x$$
$$\frac{x}{3} \times 6 = 2x$$
So the equation becomes:
$$3x + 2x = 24$$
3. **Combine like terms:**
$$3x + 2x = 5x$$
So:
$$5x = 24$$
4. **Solve for $x$:** Divide both sides by 5:
$$\frac{\cancel{5}x}{\cancel{5}} = \frac{24}{5}$$
$$x = \frac{24}{5}$$
5. **Final answer:**
$$x = \frac{24}{5} = 4.8$$
Note: The user's original simplification to $x=2$ is incorrect because the terms were not combined properly.
