You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can not divide by zero, so x can not equal: -6%2F5 ....
%2810x+%2B+3%29%2F%285x+%2B+6%29+=+1%2F2
%2810x+%2B+3%29+=+%285x+%2B+6%29%281%2F2%29
10x+%2B+3+=+2.5x+%2B+3
7.5x+=+0
x+=+0
CHECK:
%2810x+%2B+3%29%2F%285x+%2B+6%29+=+1%2F2
%280+%2B+3%29%2F%280+%2B+6%29+=+1%2F2
%283%29%2F%286%29+=+1%2F2 It is correct!
