The problem requires finding the value of '$x$' from the given equation:
$ \frac{1}{x} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{2x} + \frac{3}{4} $
To solve for '$x$', we first group the terms containing '$x$' on one side and the constant terms on the other side of the equation.
$ \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2x} = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{2}{3} $
Next, we find a common denominator for the terms on each side to combine them.
Now, the equation simplifies to:
$ \frac{1}{2x} = \frac{1}{12} $
Since the numerators are equal, the denominators must also be equal.
$ 2x = 12 $
Finally, solve for '$x$' by dividing both sides by 2:
$ x = \frac{12}{2} $
$ x = 6 $
