No

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} M=\frac{2}{4}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{6}{12}+\frac{4}{12}=\frac{6+4}{12}=\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5}{6}\doteq 0.8333 \\ A=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{5}=\frac{5}{10}+\frac{2}{10}=\frac{5+2}{10}=\frac{7}{10}=0.7 \\ \frac{5}{6}>\frac{7}{10} \\ \frac{25}{30}>\frac{21}{30} \\ M>A \\ x=0 \end{gathered}$$
