Wherever there is an x, replace it with 2%2F3 then simplify,
%281%2F2%29x%5E2-5x%2B2=%281%2F2%29%282%2F3%29%5E2-5%282%2F3%29%2B2
%281%2F2%29x%5E2-5x%2B2=%281%2F2%29%284%2F9%29-10%2F3%2B2
%281%2F2%29x%5E2-5x%2B2=2%2F9-30%2F9%2B18%2F9
%281%2F2%29x%5E2-5x%2B2=%28%282-30%2B18%29%29%2F9
%281%2F2%29x%5E2-5x%2B2=highlight%28-10%2F9%29
