here is the original question I think:
%282%2F5%29x%2B%281%2F5%29%28x%2B1%29=%28x%2B2%29%2F6
step 1 - multiply by 30 to get
12x+%2B+6x%2B6+=+5x%2B10
step 2 - combine like terms on the left to get
18x+%2B+6+=+5x+%2B+10
step 3 - subtract 5x to get
13x+%2B+6+=+10
step 4 - subtract 6 to get
13x+=+4
step 5 - divide to get
x+=+4%2F13
