I cant figure out how to solve this problem, I'm suppose to use synthetic division and the factor theorem but I cant figure it out. I just cant do fractions. Someone please help me!!!!!

solve:
x^3 - (5/6)x^2 - (22/3)x + 5/2 = 0
 
Then multiply by 6 and get rid of those pesky fractions.

solve:
x^3 - (5/6)x^2 - (22/3)x + 5/2 = 0

rewrite as:

1/6 * [6*x^3 - 5*x^2 - 44*x + 15] = 0
