%281%2F2%29x+=+3+%285%2F6%29..........
%281%2F2%29x=+23%2F6%29..........multiply both sides by 2
2%281%2F2%29x=+2%2823%2F6%29%29..........simplify
x=+23%2F3%29..........
x=+7%282%2F3%29..........
check:
%281%2F2%29%2A%2823%2F3%29+=+3+%285%2F6%29..........
23%2F6+=+3+%285%2F6%29..........
3%285%2F6%29+=+3+%285%2F6%29..........
