Just in case you are yet in need of a solution...
v=%281%2F6%29ab%28x%2By%29
Solving for x
Distribute %281%2F6%29ab
v=%281%2F6%29abx+%2B+%281%2F6%29aby
Subtract %281%2F6%29aby from both sides
v+-+%281%2F6%29aby+=+%281%2F6%29abx
Multiply both sides by 6%2F%28ab%29
%286%28v-%281%2F6%29aby%29%29%2Fab%29+=+x
Simplify
Distribute the 6
%286v%29%2F%28ab%29-%28%281%2F6%296aby%29%2Fab=x
Further simplify with cancelations
%286v%2Fab%29-y+=+x
