Question 932354
Just a bit of transcribing into number symbolism.


{{{1/x+(1/(2+x))=5/12}}}, and solving for x is wanted.


One must cut the description into the most convenient phrasing using ones best sense.  I identified this way:   The sum of the {reciprocal of a positive number} and {the reciprocal of {2 more than the number}} is {5/12}.
