$$\frac{\left(\mathrm{6}{x}+\mathrm{2}{a}+\mathrm{3}{b}+{c}\right)+\left(\mathrm{6}{x}+\mathrm{2}{a}−\mathrm{3}{b}−{c}\right)}{\left(\mathrm{6}{x}+\mathrm{2}{a}+\mathrm{3}{b}+{c}\right)−\left(\mathrm{6}{x}+\mathrm{2}{a}−\mathrm{3}{b}−{c}\right)}= \\ $$$$=\frac{\left(\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{6}{a}+{b}+\mathrm{3}{c}\right)+\left(\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{6}{a}−{b}−\mathrm{3}{c}\right)}{\left(\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{6}{a}+{b}+\mathrm{3}{c}\right)−\left(\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{6}{a}−{b}−\mathrm{3}{c}\right)}\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{12}{x}+\mathrm{4}{a}}{\mathrm{6}{b}+\mathrm{2}{c}}=\frac{\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{12}{a}}{\mathrm{2}{b}+\mathrm{6}{c}}\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{6}{x}+\mathrm{2}{a}}{\mathrm{3}{b}+{c}}=\frac{\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{6}{a}}{{b}+\mathrm{3}{c}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{6}{x}+\mathrm{2}{a}}{\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{6}{a}}=\frac{\mathrm{3}{b}+{c}}{{b}+\mathrm{3}{c}}\Rightarrow\frac{\left(\mathrm{6}{x}+\mathrm{2}{a}\right)+\mathrm{3}\left(\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{6}{a}\right)}{\left(\mathrm{6}{x}+\mathrm{2}{a}\right)−\mathrm{3}\left(\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{6}{a}\right)}= \\ $$$$\frac{\left(\mathrm{3}{b}+{c}\right)+\mathrm{3}\left({b}+\mathrm{3}{c}\right)}{\left(\mathrm{3}{b}+{c}\right)−\mathrm{3}\left({b}+\mathrm{3}{c}\right)}\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{12}{x}+\mathrm{20}{a}}{−\mathrm{16}{a}}=\frac{\mathrm{6}{b}+\mathrm{10}{c}}{−\mathrm{8}{c}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{3}{x}+\mathrm{5}{a}=\frac{{a}}{{c}}\left(\mathrm{3}{b}+\mathrm{5}{c}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}{x}=\frac{\mathrm{3}{ab}+\mathrm{5}{ac}−\mathrm{5}{ac}}{{c}}=\frac{\mathrm{3}{ab}}{{c}}\Rightarrow\boldsymbol{{x}}=\frac{\boldsymbol{{ab}}}{\boldsymbol{{c}}}\:.\blacksquare \\ $$
