(5x over 3x+10) + (2x over x+5)= 2
5x%2F%283x%2B10%29+%2B+2x%2F%28x%2B5%29+=+2+
5x%28x%2B5%29+%2B+2x%283x%2B10%29+=+2%283x%2B10%29%28x%2B5%29+
5x%5E2%2B25x+%2B+6x%5E2%2B20x+=+2%283x%5E2%2B15x%2B10x%2B50%29+
5x%5E2%2B25x+%2B+6x%5E2%2B20x+=+2%283x%5E2%2B25x%2B50%29+
11x%5E2%2B45x+=+6x%5E2%2B50x%2B100+
5x%5E2%2B45x+=+50x%2B100+
5x%5E2-5x+=+100+
5x%5E2-5x-100+=+0+
x%5E2-x-20+=+0+
%28x-5%29%28x%2B4%29+=+0+
x = {-4, 5}
