You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Could you please re-state your problem and don't be shy with the parentheses?
It will make it much clearer.
1%2F%286%28x%2B12%29%2B1%29=x%2F3
1%2F%286%28x%2B12%29%29%2B1=x%2F3
%281%2F6%29%28x%2B12%29%2B1=x%2F3
I'm not sure which of these 3 equations you're trying to solve.
