The solution should not be so bad. That is a quadratic equation. If check for the numerators for the decimalized mixed number coefficients, the lowest common denominator is 10.

The three first steps:

, through multiplying left and right by .

Easier to not check factorability. Just use the general solution of a quadratic equation.
