Assuming this is the way the problem is it is solved like this:
First, you must find a common denominator. In this case it is 15.

since this is an equation, and the denominators are all the same .... drop them.
Distribute the -5 to the (x+2)
combine like terms
add 10 to both sides
divide by -2

NOW ... if the problem was supposed to be ...
It is solved like this: Distribute the -1 to the quantity
add 2/3 to each side
combine the x terms
find common denom on the right (it is still 15)

Combine like terms
multiply both sides by -5/4 to cancel the term with the x

cross reduce the fractions and multiply
