%28x%2By%2Ba%2Bb%2Bc%2Bd%29%2F6=4 ...if x=2, then
%282%2By%2Ba%2Bb%2Bc%2Bd%29%2F6=4
%282%2F6%29%2B%28y%2Ba%2Bb%2Bc%2Bd%29%2F6=4
%281%2F3%29%2B%28y%2Ba%2Bb%2Bc%2Bd%29%2F6=4
%28y%2Ba%2Bb%2Bc%2Bd%29%2F6=4-1%2F3
%28y%2Ba%2Bb%2Bc%2Bd%29%2F6=12%2F3-1%2F3
%28y%2Ba%2Bb%2Bc%2Bd%29%2F6=11%2F3
%28y%2Ba%2Bb%2Bc%2Bd%29%2F6=3.666666666666667
