.
"Excluded values" are values that would make the denominator equal zero.
Since division by zero is undefined, these values are excluded from
being solutions.
.
Excluded value when: x+5=0
Excluded value when: x=-5
.

x/x+5 = 2/x+5 - 2/3
------

5x = 6
x = 6/5
===============
x = 0 is excluded because x/x and 2/x are undefined.
