Step 1
we need to write all the steps according to the question.
we need to write all the operations as question says.
Step 2
x is a fraction.
x=?
According to the question, when x is multiplied by $$\displaystyle{\frac{{{10}}}{{{20}}}}$$ and then added with $$\displaystyle{\frac{{{1}}}{{{15}}}}$$ the result is $$\displaystyle{\frac{{{8}}}{{{6}}}}$$.
$$\displaystyle\because{x}\times{\frac{{{10}}}{{{20}}}}+{\frac{{{1}}}{{{15}}}}={\frac{{{8}}}{{{6}}}}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\frac{{{x}}}{{{2}}}}+{\frac{{{1}}}{{{15}}}}={\frac{{{8}}}{{{6}}}}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\frac{{{x}}}{{{2}}}}={\frac{{{8}}}{{{6}}}}-{\frac{{{1}}}{{{15}}}}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\frac{{{x}}}{{{2}}}}={\frac{{{8}\times{5}-{1}\times{2}}}{{{30}}}}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{\frac{{{x}}}{{{2}}}}={\frac{{{40}-{2}}}{{{30}}}}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{x}={2}\times{\frac{{{38}}}{{{30}}}}$$
$$\displaystyle\Rightarrow{x}={\frac{{{38}}}{{{15}}}}$$
