I believe you are describing:
7%2F%282x%29%2B1%2F%282x%29=%283x%2B3%29%2F2+%2B5%2F%282x%29
so that...




8%2F%282x%29-5%2F%282x%29=%283x%2B3%29%2F2+%2B5%2F%282x%29-5%2F%282x%29
3%2F%282x%29=%283x%2B3%29%2F2
%283%2F2%29%281%2Fx%29=%283%2F2%29%28x%2B1%29

leads to

x%5E2%2Bx-1=0
which has solutions:
x=%281%2F2%29%2A%28-1+%2B-+sqrt%285%29%29
